Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pork chops Bone-in or boneless, as per preference.
  • 4 medium potatoes, sliced Cut into even slices for uniform cooking.
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth Can be substituted with chicken broth.
  • 2 tablespoons flour For making the gravy.
  • 2 tablespoons oil For browning the chops.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: herbs like thyme or rosemary Adds flavor to the dish.

Method
 

Preparation and Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and brown the pork chops on both sides.
  2. Remove chops and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, sauté onions until translucent.
  4. Stir in flour until lightly browned, then gradually add beef broth, stirring continuously.
  5. Layer sliced potatoes in the pan, then place the pork chops on top.
  6. Pour the gravy over everything, season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
  7. Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes until the pork chops are cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

Notes

Serve hot from the pan. Spoon extra gravy over the pork and potatoes. For a balanced meal, add a simple green salad or steamed vegetables. A slice of crusty bread pairs well to soak up the gravy.
