Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 thick-cut pork chops
1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning, or to taste
½ cup butter, divided
2 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon instant beef bouillon granules
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups milk

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.

For perfectly prepared pork chops (preferably bone-in) you must brine them for at least 1 to 2 hours and pick chops that are at least 1/2 to 1-inch thick. The success to this dish is the brine for moistness. There are many brine variations out there for what flavor you are wanting to accomplish but, it is an important part of the overall dish.

1 tablespoon garlic powder
¼ cup fresh chives, chopped
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
