Onions, beef broth, and beer make a super savory gravy for these pan-fried pork chops.
1 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 pork chops or veal chops
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoon unbleached flour
4 small onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup beer
1/2 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and sprinkle both sides with the flour. Place the pork chops in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes per side. Add the onions to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, turning the pork chops halfway through the cooking time.
Add the beer and beef broth to the skillet. Stir gently then cover the skillet and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let cook for 15 minutes or until the pork is cooked through.
Remove the pork chops to a warmed serving platter. Season the sauce in the skillet with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Combine the cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir into the sauce in the skillet and increase the heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened.
Pour the sauce over the pork chops and serve immediately.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Very simple, very good recipe. I added a little garlic powder to the flour, and seasoned the chops with a paprika-based seasoning blend. I used Shiner Bock in the gravy, and it added a nice body to the gravy. Mushrooms also added some texture and flavor to the sauce. Potatoes and Brussels sprouts truly made for a delicious Oktoberfest dinner!
I believe this might be a good recipe, but I wish it would have specified what kind of beer - I just made it with Rochefort 8 (a dark strong belgian beer) - and it's a bit funky. Maybe a lighter beer would have been better.

Very nice, simply chop recipe. Sauce had fantastic flavor My picky 14 year old loved it...of course, some of that may have been because it has beer in it, lol.
