Smothered Pork Chops

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the oil and fry the pork on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes on both sides. It should look browned.

Step 2

Transfer the cooked pork to a plate and set aside. Do not turn of the heat or wash the pan.

Step 3

Add the butter and let it melt completely. Whisk in the flour and let it bubble for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Add the broth, salt, Italian seasoning and red pepper, and let it simmer on medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the cooked pork back to the pan and let it simmer for another 10 minutes on medium heat.

Step 6

Serve warm.

Step 7

Store any leftovers in an airtight container for about 2 days (see notes).
