Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Guinness stout
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for about 8-10 minutes until they are soft and caramelized.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the onions and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the Guinness stout, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir until the mixture begins to thicken.

Step 7

Add the beef broth, thyme leaves, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them in the onion gravy. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low.

Step 9

Simmer the pork chops in the gravy for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and tender. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 10

Taste the onion gravy and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 11

Serve the Guinness pork chops hot, smothered in the rich onion gravy. Pair with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up all the flavors.
