Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure proper browning. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper on one side of each pork chop, spreading it evenly across the surface. Flip them over and repeat the seasoning on the other side. This double-sided seasoning ensures flavor penetrates the meat.

In a large skillet over medium-low heat, add the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and stir until fully melted and foaming. Add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet. Fry them until golden brown on both sides, approximately 4-6 minutes per side depending on thickness. The goal is a beautiful caramelized crust. Once browned, remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

In the same skillet with the remaining butter and flavorful drippings, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté over medium heat until slightly golden brown and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are softened and lightly browned, releasing their moisture, about 4-5 minutes. This step concentrates the earthy, umami flavor.

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of flour over the vegetable mixture and stir well until combined and the flour is fully absorbed, about 1 minute. The flour will help thicken the sauce and create that signature gravy consistency.

Pour in the 400 ml chicken broth and stir until everything is well combined, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper. Stir once more to incorporate all seasonings.

Add the seared pork chops back into the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom gravy. Cover the skillet with a lid and let everything cook over low heat for 25 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.

Remove from heat. Serve the pork chops with the mushroom gravy generously spooned over the top. Pair with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables!
