These are the basic steps for making pork chops with gravy. Refer to the full, printable recipe card below for detailed instructions.
1. Sear the Pork Chops and Cook
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Then, heat a large skillet over medium high heat with the olive oil. Season both sides of the pork chops and sear in the skillet for 2 minutes per side, or until browned and caramelized.
2. Cook Pork Chops and Prepare Gravy Ingredients
Remove pork chops to a cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Let the pork chops cook, then transfer the pork chops from oven and loosely cover with foil. Allow to rest for 15 minutes.
In same skillet as the pork chops, add the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and the mushrooms, onions and thyme. Cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, until the onions are soft and both are beginning to brown. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove mushroom mixture to a bowl and keep warm.
3. Simmer the Gravy
Again in the same pan, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the flour and stir until slightly browned, about 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in broth and cook while whisking constantly until thickened, for approximately 1-2 minutes. Add Greek yogurt and season with all purpose seasoning to add flavor to the gravy. Add the mushroom mixture to the gravy and nestle the pork chops back into the sauce. Cook gravy and simmer. Remove the pork when it’s ready, pat the pork dry to remove excess fats or juices, and top with creamy gravy.
