Step-by-step instructions on how to make pork chops in the oven with onion gravy

You can bake the pork chops without searing them beforehand, they should still be tender and delicious. My Baked Honey Mustard Pork Chops weren't seared, and they were amazing. But, it's up to you, I like them either way. Searing gives that uniform brown colour after baking, so I quite like it.

To bake the chops

• heat up a pan and add the oil and butter
• season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper, and add them to the pan
• sear on both sides for 2-3 minutes until nicely browned, they won't be fully cooked at this stage
• preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 Fahreneheit)
• transfer the pork chops, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until tender

To make the onion gravy

• heat up the oil in a pan
• add the onion with sugar and salt, and fry gently on a medium heat until golden, then add the flour, and mix well
• pour over the beef stock/broth, and stir until the sauce thickens, that should not take longer than 5 minutes

When the chops are ready, smother them in onion gravy, and serve hot with mash or the side of your choice. Quick, easy peasy, and so yummy!

What to serve with pork chops and gravy

My first choice is always mashed potatoes. It's my absolute favourite side dish, and its texture goes wonderfully well with the chops and gravy. There is something about this combination that screams comfort food not matter the season.

But you can try other sides too, like fluffy rice, bulgur wheat, couscous, or just a nice green salad on the side. It's completely up to you, I would have these chops any time of the day, even on their own.
