Cost: $9.25 total, $2.31 per serving

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Boneless Pork Chops (about 1 inch thick, trimmed)
  • 1 tsp Salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter (cut into cubes)
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil (high‑heat oil)
  • 8 oz Button Mushrooms (cleaned and halved)
  • 1 small Onion (finely chopped)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp All‑Purpose Flour (for roux)
  • 1.5 cup Beef Broth (low‑sodium preferred)
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season Pork Chops

    Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper, pressing lightly to adhere.

    Time: PT2M

  2. Preheat Skillet and Melt Butter

    Place the cast‑iron skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the butter and let it melt, then swirl in the vegetable oil to prevent the butter from burning.

    Time: PT2M

    Temperature: medium-high

  3. Sear Pork Chops

    Add the pork chops to the hot skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until a deep golden‑brown crust forms.

    Time: PT6M

    Temperature: medium-high

  4. Set Chops Aside

    Transfer the seared chops to a plate and set aside while you build the gravy.

    Time: PT1M

  5. Sauté Mushrooms

    If the pan looks dry, add a splash more oil. Add the halved mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden and release their moisture.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: medium

  6. Add Onion and Garlic

    Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.

    Time: PT2M

    Temperature: medium

  7. Create the Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir continuously for about 1 minute until the mixture turns a light golden color and no raw flour remains.

    Time: PT1M

    Temperature: medium

  8. Add Broth and Thicken

    Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to dissolve any lumps. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5‑6 minutes until the gravy thickens.

    Time: PT6M

    Temperature: medium

  9. Return Pork to the Skillet

    Place the pork chops back into the gravy, spoon some sauce over them, and let simmer for 3 minutes to reheat and meld flavors.

    Time: PT3M

    Temperature: medium

  10. Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top, and serve immediately.

    Time: PT1M
