Pan-Fried Pork Chops with Mushroom Sauce
Description
Pan-Fried Pork Chops with Mushroom Sauce begins by seasoning boneless pork chops, then browning them on both sides in a hot pan. After removing the chops, sliced mushrooms, onions, and butter are sautéed in the same pan until the onions soften. Garlic and herbs including thyme and oregano add aromatic flavors, while smoked paprika and balsamic vinegar contribute depth.
Flour is cooked briefly with the vegetables to create a base for the sauce, then vegetable broth is added and the pork chops returned to the pan. Covered and simmered, the meat finishes cooking gently while the sauce thickens. Finally, heavy cream enriches the sauce for a velvety texture.
This preparation yields tender pork chops with a creamy, herb-infused mushroom sauce combining savory and subtle smoky notes. The dish complements well with simple starch sides such as fries, pasta, or rice to balance the richness.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops boneless
- 250 g mushrooms cut into thin slices
- 1 onion cut into thin vertical slices
- 50 g butter
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 2 tsp thyme dried
- 2 tsp oregano dried
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbs balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbs all-purpose flour
- 360 ml vegetable broth
- 330 ml heavy cream
- salt
- black pepper
- olive oil
Instructions
- Grease and season the chops well.
- Place a large pan over medium heat and let it get hot.
- Add the chops and let them sauté well on both sides until they brown.
- Remove the chops and place them aside on a plate.
- In the same pan, add the mushrooms, the onion, and the butter and sauté until the onion is soft.
- Add the garlic, thyme, oregano, paprika, vinegar, and flour and sauté for 3 more minutes.
- Place the chops back in the pan along with the broth, cover with a lid, and simmer over medium-low heat until the steaks are cooked. This will depend on the heat and the size and number of chops.
- Finally, add the heavy cream, simmer for a few more minutes without the lid until the sauce thickens, and serve with French fries, pasta or rice.
