Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy (Instant Pot)

INGREDIENTS

  • Brine (3 cups water, 3 Tbsp salt, 2 smashed garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 bay leaf)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 4 bone-in pork chops at least 1" in thickness

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp pepper or to taste

  • 8 oz mushrooms cleaned and sliced

  • 1 large onion chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic minced

  • ¾ cup chicken broth low sodium

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce low sodium

  • 2 tablespoons dried basil

  • 1/2 tsp oregano

  • 1/2 tsp rosemary

  • 1/2 tsp thyme

  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 2 Tbsp flour

  • 8 oz sour cream

Directions

  • Bring a cup of the water to a boil, add the salt, garlic, pepper & bay leaf, stirring until salt desolves.

  • Add 2 more cups of cold water to bring the temperature of the brine down to room temperature.

  • Place the pork chops in a shallow dish and pour the brine over top. The brine should cover the chops — if not, add additional water and salt (1 cup water to 1 tablespoon salt) until the chops are submerged

  • Cover the dish and refrigerate for min 30 minutes up to overnight.

  • In Instant Pot, saute pork chops, remove and set aside

  • Add the mushrooms, onions and garlic to the Instant Pot and saute until the moisture in the mushrooms has evaporated and started to brown a bit.

  • Add the chicken broth, soy sauce and Italian seasoning to the pot and stir well. Make sure to deglaze the pot by scrubbing all the brown bits from the bottom

  • Transfer the pork chops back to the instant pot cook on manual Pressure for 15 minutes

  • Let Instant Pot release naturally for 10 minutes then release remaining pressure

  • Transfer pork chops to serving container

  • Set the Instant Pot to the Saute and bring remaing sauce to a simmer

  • Whisk flour with sour cream then mix into sauce, cooking until gravy thickens
