Steps:
- Season pork chops on all sides with Montreal steak seasoning.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chops in melted butter until browned and slightly pink in the center, about 7 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Add remaining butter to the pan as needed so that about 3 tablespoons pan drippings remain in the pan when the chops are finished cooking. Transfer pork chops to a plate and return skillet to medium-high heat.
- Mix flour, basil, and beef bouillon together in a bowl. Stir black pepper into skillet with the pan drippings and cook for 1 minute. Add flour mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until browned, about 2 minutes. Pour milk into flour mixture; cook and stir constantly until mixture is thick and bubbly, 4 to 6 minutes. Pour sauce over pork chops and serve.

PORK CHOPS IN CREAMY HERBED BRANDY SAUCE
Tender pork chops simmered in a thick, spicy, creamy sauce. Prep time is marinating time. I have edited the steps to make it easier to read after momaphet's review. Please note that the flour needs to be golden before adding the liquids to it so the sauce incorporates well and does not curdle. Using good quality brandy and chicken boullion makes for a full flavored dish.
