Pork Chops and Gravy Recipe Tips
- Pork Chops: You can use bone-in or boneless pork chops. We prefer bone-in because they seem to be much more tender.
- Searing the pork chops: Make sure to only sear both sides of the pork chops. You don’t want to cook them through at this stage, just sear them.
- Salt: Make sure to salt the pork chops before you sear them. You can also use seasoning salt.
- Cream for the gravy: You can use half + half, 3% milk or buttermilk. Heavy cream can be used as well, but the gravy will be very rich.
- Gravy FLOUR TIP! The gravy recipe calls for 4 tbsp of flour. What I like to do is use the leftover seasoned flour from what was used to coat the pork chops before searing. I prefer this, it makes a much more flavourful gravy. You can use plain flour or this seasoned flour, just make sure you use 4 tbsp total (you can mix and match too).
- Bay Leaves: Make sure to remove the bay leaves before serving!
- Broth: You can use chicken broth or vegetable broth.
- Mashed Potatoes: Serve these pork chops and gravy over mashed potatoes.
- Can I make this ahead of time? This dish is best served right away.
- How to Store Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Can I double this recipe? You can easily double this recipe, you’ll just need to use a large pan, or two pans.

Instructions
Pork Chops:
- Pat the pork chops dry.
- Season the pork chops with the seasoning salt, making sure to season both sides.
- Let rest for about 10 minutes. Pat away any excess moisture.
- In the meantime, on a plate mix together the flour, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.
- In skillet over medium-high heat, add 4 tablespoons of oil.
- Dredge the pork chops in the flour mix, gently shaking any extra flour off.
- Add the pork chops to the pan, searing each side for 2-3 minutes. The pork chops should have a nice golden crust, but they shouldn’t be cooked through. You only need to sear the outside.
- Once both sides of the pork chops are seared, remove them from the pan and transfer to a plate.
Making the gravy:
- In the same pan you seared the pork chops, turn down the heat to low-medium.
- Now add and melt the 4 tablespoons of butter.
- Then add the 4 tablespoons of flour (all purpose or the leftover seasoned flour). Whisk until the flour is golden brown (just a minute or so).
- Now slowly add the broth, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, sage, rosemary and bay leaves. Using a whisk, mix well and bring to a light boil.
- Stir continuously and make sure to scrape up all the good bits from the bottom of the pan, they give the gravy all it’s rich flavour!
- Add the cream, and mix well.
- Let the gravy simmer on low until it’s the consistency of gravy (not runny, not too thick).
Putting it all together:
- Now add the pork chops back to the pan with the gravy.
- Scoop some gravy over the pork chops.
- Cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Make sure to turn over the pork chops about half way through.
- Remove the bay leaves.
- Garnish with green onions and serve with mashed potatoes.
