Directions

  1. 1Put a wide pan over medium-high heat.
  2. 2Add olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
  3. 3Add seasoned boneless pork chops to the pan, laying them away from you.
  4. 4Adjust heat down if needed, to prevent smoking and burning.
  5. 5Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
  6. 6Remove pork chops and set aside. Pat dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Cajun seasoning before cooking.
  7. 7Add butter to the pan. Then add the diced onions, pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Cook on low until softened.
  8. 8Add flour and cook for about a minute or two.
  9. 9Add about a cup of beef broth and stir, until the onions loosen up and start to form a gravy.
  10. 10Add another cup of beef broth.
  11. 11Add a third cup of beef broth or more, until the desired consistency is reached.
  12. 12Simmer, then add the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated in the sauce.
  13. 13Add the juices from the plate where the pork chops were resting.
  14. 14Cover and simmer for at least an hour, or until fork-tender. Check at 45 minutes and go from there.
