Instructions

  • In a shallow bowl, stir together the flour and seasoned salt.

  • Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to a large skillet over medium heat.
    2 tablespoons butter
  • Once the butter is melted, add the pork chops. You may have to work in 2 batches if your pork chops are large.
  • Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side then remove to a plate.
  • In the same pan, add the remaining butter and the sliced onions.
    2 tablespoons butter, 1 cup sliced yellow onion
  • Cook the onions for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently until they're golden brown and translucent.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of the seasoned flour and stir for 1 minutes.
  • Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
    1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the pork chops back to the pan with the sauce.
  • Cover with a lid and cook until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145F.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

I use "Iowa Chops" which are about 1.25 inches thick.  Depending on the size of the pork chops, I recommend using about 6 boneless chops or 4 bone-in chops.
