Mushroom Pork Chops
Description
This recipe prepares boneless pork chops cooked in a skillet with olive oil and seasoned simply with salt and pepper. Cooking the pork chops 6 to 8 minutes per side ensures a tender center. After removing the chops, a sauce is made in the same pan by melting butter and cooking sliced mushrooms until browned and tender. Garlic is added briefly for aroma.
A roux is created with flour cooked in the pan, after which beef broth is whisked in smoothly to form the base of a gravy. Bringing it to a simmer thickens the sauce, and heavy cream adds richness. Returning the pork chops to the pan allows the sauce to coat the meat before serving. Chopped parsley adds a fresh note.
The combination results in pork chops with a moist texture and a savory creamy mushroom sauce that complements the meat well, suited for a main course alongside vegetables or starches.
