Ingredients

• 4 each Pork Chops (bone-in or boneless)
• about 225 g Mushrooms
• 1 cup Heavy Cream
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Thyme
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Pat the 4 Pork Chops dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides of the 4 Pork Chops evenly with the 0.5 teaspoon Salt and the 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper.
2. 2Place a 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat (204.4°C / 200°C). Add the 1 tablespoon Olive Oil to the hot skillet. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the seasoned pork chops into the skillet. Sear the pork chops for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until they have a golden-brown crust and an internal temperature of 63°C. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and place them on a plate, tented loosely with foil to keep warm.
3. 3Reduce the skillet heat to medium (176.7°C / 175°C). Add the 2 tablespoons Butter to the same skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the about 225 g Mushrooms, sliced. Cook the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are softened and have turned a deep golden brown.
4. 4Add the 2 cloves Garlic, minced, and the 1 teaspoon Thyme to the skillet with the mushrooms. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
5. 5Pour the 1 cup Heavy Cream into the skillet. Stir to combine with the mushrooms and garlic. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. This is done when the sauce visibly reduces in volume and becomes slightly thicker.
6. 6Return the 4 Pork Chops, along with any juices from the plate, to the skillet. Spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over the pork chops to coat them evenly. Let them warm through in the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes.
7. 7Serve the Keto Pork Chops with Creamy Mushroom Sauce immediately, making sure each pork chop is generously topped with the sauce.
