Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat pork chops dry. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear pork chops 3 minutes per side without moving—edges should brown.

  3. Step 3

    Remove chops to a plate. Add onion and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in beef broth, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Return pork chops to the skillet. Simmer 5 minutes until gravy thickens slightly.

  5. Step 5

    While the pork cooks, microwave broccoli according to package. Toss cabbage with 1 tbsp vinegar and a pinch of salt.

  6. Step 6

    Serve pork chops and gravy over warm rice alongside steamed broccoli and red cabbage slaw.
