  • Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 adult servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
  • 12 boneless pork chops or pork shoulder pieces (23 lbs total, about 1 inches thick, 5 inches long)
  • Extra sprinkle of salt, pepper, and thyme or Johnny’s seasoning (to season meat)
  • 3 sweet yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp fine salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 9 tbsp all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 5 cups beef broth (for gravy)
  • 3 tsp ground sage
  • 1 cup beef broth (for simmering meat)
  • Additional salt, pepper, and thyme to taste
  • Optional for serving: mashed potatoes and sprigs of fresh thyme or parsley

Instructions

  1. Season meat: Pat pork chops dry. Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, and thyme (or Johnny’s seasoning).
  2. Sear meat: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over high heat. Sear pork chops on both sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. Brown onions: In the same pan, reduce to medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until golden and caramelized, about 10–12 minutes. Remove onions and set aside.
  4. Make gravy base: To the pan, add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and sage. Stir 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add flour: Sprinkle gluten-free flour into pan. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes to remove raw taste.
  6. Whisk in broth: Slowly whisk in 5 cups beef broth until smooth and thickened into a gravy.
  7. Combine: Return onions and seared pork chops to the pan. Pour in an additional 1 cup beef broth. Stir to coat chops in gravy.
  8. Simmer: Cover with lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for up to 2 hours, until pork is fork-tender. Stir occasionally and check gravy consistency—add a splash more broth if too thick.
  9. Taste & adjust: Season with extra salt, pepper, and thyme to taste.
  10. Serve: Spoon pork chops and onion gravy over mashed potatoes. Garnish with thyme sprigs or parsley.
