Equipment

Ingredients

4 bone-in pork chops (½ inch thick)
2 Tablespoons salt free seasoning (like Mrs. Dash)
2 Tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
2 Tablespoons butter (unsalted)
2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium)
2 cups water (divided)
2 Tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 Tablespoons of water (to make a slurry)
¼ cup half and half cream (can use heavy cream)
2 Tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
salt and pepper to taste (may not be needed since using soy sauce)

Instructions

PREP

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.
Season chops with a salt-free seasoning (like Mrs. Dash), or make your own with garlic powder and black pepper.

SEAR

Heat olive oil in a shallow dutch oven or cast iron skillet over medium heat on the stove top.
Sear meat for minutes per side, or until golden brown on the outside.
Remove pork and place on a plate. Wrap in aluminum foil and set aside.

SAUTÉ VEGETABLES

Drain most of the grease and wipe residue from the bottom of the pot with a paper towel.
Add butter, onions and mushrooms. Sauté until softened.
Add soy sauce, 1 cup of the water and garlic. Sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

MAKE GRAVY

Add cream and cornstarch slurry (that is mixed with water).
Stir gravy until it thickens.
If needed, add up to 1 cup of water to thin gravy until it is your desired consistency. Stir over medium heat until warm.

FINISH

Return seared pork chops to the dutch oven with the gravy.
Simmer for 5 more minutes until pork is heated through.
Test meat with a thermometer to ensure it is at least 145ºF.
Spoon mushroom gravy over pork chops and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve with mashed potatoes and vegetable of choice.

Notes

- You can use boneless pork chops, but be sure to shorten the cooking time.
- Substitute beef broth or stock for soy sauce. This will alter the salt content, so taste before serving.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork.
- Once meat reaches 145ºF, take it off the heat and cover with foil.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
- When searing the meat, don't crowd the pan.
