Thick cut pork chops are seasoned, then pan seared in a cast iron skillet and smothered in onion & mushroom gravy. Serve over mashed potatoes with a green vegetable.

  • 2TBS vegetable oil or lard
  • 2center-cut pork loin chops, cut 1-inch thick (about 1½ lb)
  • 2tsp kosher salt
  • 1tsp ground black pepper
  • 1yellow onion, halved and sliced ½-inch thick
  • 4oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
  • 3TBS AP flour
  • 1½cups beef (or chicken) stock 
  • ¼cup heavy cream
  • 2sprigs fresh rosemary


Season and sear the pork:

In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet set over medium-high heat, add the oil. While the oil is heating, sprinkle one side of the pork chops with salt and pepper.

Place the chops into the hot pan, seasoned side down, and sear for 4 minutes, or until they are a dark, golden-brown. While the first sides are searing, season the top side with more salt and pepper. Flip the chops over and cook for another 4 minutes. Transfer the chops from the pan to a platter. You may have to do this in batches for a good sear.

Sauté the onions and mushrooms:

Add the onions and mushrooms to the pan and cook them over medium heat, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes or until they are softened and become a deep golden color. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.

Make the roux:

Once the onions and garlic are cooked down but still a little glossy, sprinkle flour over the veggies. If the onions aren’t glossy, add 1 TBS of oil before adding the flour. Cook the flour for one minute to remove the raw, starchy taste from it.

Add ¼ cup of beef stock to the pan and use your spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. The mixture will look like a very thick paste at this point.

Finish making the gravy:

Combine the cream with the rest of the beef stock and pour this liquid into the pan. Add rosemary sprigs and bring the mixture up to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened.

Finish the chops:

Nestle the pork chops into the simmering gravy, then cover the pan. Allow the chops to simmer in the thickened gravy for 10 minutes, or until their internal temperature reaches at least 145°F and no higher than 165°F.

Serve the chops:

Place the pork chops over a bed of mashed potatoes and smother them in the gravy.

with Roasted Potatoes & Green Beans

Yield: 2

Adapted from: Dinnerly

Tender pork, rolled around a two-cheese combination, and then seared to golden perfection and finished in the oven. Roasted potatoes and green beans round out the plate.
Prep: 10 Cook: 30

  • 10oz pork tenderloin
  • 12oz potatoes
  • 8oz green beans
  • 2TBS cream cheese
  • 1/8tsp garlic powder
  • 3TBS parmesan cheese
  • salt & pepper
  • olive oil
  • balsamic vinegar
  • butter


Prep pork:

Preheat oven to 450°F with a rack in the lower third. Cut each piece of pork horizontally (parallel to cutting board) almost completely in half. Open pork up like a book and place pork between sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or heavy skillet, pound each to an even ⅛-inch thickness.

Season pork:

Finely grate Parmesan, if necessary. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, half of the Parmesan, ⅛ tsp granulated garlic, and a pinch each of salt and pepper, mash with a fork until combined. Spread half of the mixture over one side of each piece of pork. Roll up and transfer, seam-sides down, to a plate. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Roast potatoes & beans:

Scrub potatoes, then cut into ¼-inch thick wedges. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss with 1 tablespoon oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Roast on lower oven rack until just tender, 12–15 minutes. Trim ends from green beans. Remove baking sheet from oven; add green beans, and drizzle with oil, stirring gently to combine with roasted potatoes.

Brown pork:

Brush pork lightly with oil; season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add pork; cook until browned in spots, 4–5 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet and top with remaining Parmesan. Roast on lower rack until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and beans are tender, 8–10 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate to rest.

Make sauce & serve:

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in same skillet over medium. Remove from heat and whisk in ⅛ teaspoon granulated garlic, 1 tablespoon each of water and vinegar, and 1 tablespoon butter until melted, season with salt, pepper, and ½ teaspoon sugar. Slice parmesan-stuffed pork, then spoon pan sauce over top. Serve with green beans and potatoes alongside. Enjoy!
