Ingredients

2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 (1-inch thick) pork chops
1/2 cup self-rising flour
3 to 4 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 tablespoon freshly chopped thyme leaves
1 Vidalia onion, sliced
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 cups beef stock
1 cup chicken stock

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl mix together the seasoning salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder. Season each pork chop liberally with the spice mixture. Add the flour to a small bowl and stir in the remaining spice mixture. Dredge the chops in the flour, shaking off the excess.

In a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. Sear each chop for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and sear the other side for an additional 2 minutes.

Remove from the skillet to a plate and set aside. Add the thyme, onion, garlic and 1 to 2 tablespoons of the seasoned flour and cook until slightly caramelized, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the stocks and with a wooden spoon scrape up any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the chops back to the pan and cover. Put in the oven and bake until tender and the sauce has thickened, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the chops and sauce to a platter and serve.

Tasty but it takes longer than it says ...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this last night, and it was delicious. However, I want to know how you can carmelize onions in 2-3 minutes!! I only... allowed that much time, and while the onions were wonderful, I've never gotten carmelization on an onion in less than 10-15 minutes. I reduced the amount of stock -- used 1 cup beef and 1 cup chicken, and had plenty of gravy although my husband called it "sauce" because it was not thick enough to count as "gravy". The chops were really really tender (I did brine them first) and were cooked perfectly although I plan to reduce the stovetop cooking temperature to medium rather than medium-high, and cook them a little longer as they tried to burn on the edges at medium-high. Otherwise, this is definitely on my schedule to do again. Read more

yummy, but recipe didn't come out as planned
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

My main problem was that after about 25 minutes in the oven the sauce was still liquid, it had not thickened at all! That... didn't stop us from eating them! They were still delicious but I was just disappointed that it didn't make more of a gravy. Also I used two tablespoons of jarred minced garlic and I thought that was way too much. Next time, I will probably cut the stock and garlic amounts in half.Read more

Saw the episode when he made these chops awhile back and decided then and there that I wanted to make them. Finally made... them tonight and they were the best smothered pork chops I have ever had. I couldn't believe that I was able to make them taste so good! The seasoning does the trick. Especially the paprika. Thanks for a great recipe Aaron! This will be my go to recipe from now on.
