Ingredients
Pork Chops
- 4 thick-cut boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Mushroom Sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small shallot, finely minced (about ¼ cup)
- 8 ounces Baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 cup (238 g) heavy cream
- ½ cup (120 g) chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Pork Chops
- Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over all sides of the pork chops.
- To a medium cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and butter. Once hot, sear the seasoned pork chops on one side until it form a golden crust. To prevent sticking, wait for the pork to form a crust naturally before attempting to flip it, around 5-6 minutes. The pork will release from the skillet once a proper sear has formed. Flip the pork chops and cook on the other side for 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
Mushroom Sauce
- Using the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and melt butter.
- Add shallot and mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are browned, have released all of their liquid, and the shallots have softened (about 9-10 minutes). Stir frequently, scraping up the browned bits in the pan as you go.
- Add garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Pour in the heavy cream, broth, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine.
- Nestle the pork chops into the mushroom sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer. Continue cooking until the cream sauce has thickened slightly and the pork chops are cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (about 5-6 minutes).
- Spoon the mushroom sauce over the pork chops and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
