You don’t have to be on keto to want an awesome, juicy, delicious pork chop. But fortunately pork chops are very keto, especially when you pour our delicious ‘mock’ onion gravy on top! Also good for anyone, as long as fat doesn’t scare you!
Our favorite skillet.
Great meat thermometer.
So heres the recipe!
Perfect Pork Chops- 2 servings
2 bone in pork chops
2 T butter and/or Avocado oil
salt/ pepper
Let your cast iron skillet heat up for about two minutes and drop your butter and avocado oil in the pan and let melt. In the meantime, coat your chops with salt and pepper liberally. When skillet is heated thoroughly, drop in your pork chops and let them sear on one side for 4-7 minutes, depending on the thickness. We had to cook ours 8 minutes on each side they were so thick.
Flip the pork chops, and your pork chop should have a gorgeous cartelized color. Let them cook for the same amount of time and the other side to get that temp up to 135-140f.
Take out of the pan and let set for the same amount of time you cooked it so the moisture can disperse evenly back into your cooked pork chop.
While your pork chop is cooling, you can start your gravy
Onion Gravy
1/4 onion, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2t both sage and thyme if desired. Rosemary is also great!
1-2c of cabbage sliced very very thin, like an onion
1/2c beef bone broth. Any flavor stock will do as well.
1/4 c heavy cream
1/4t xanthan gum
salt
You can add some more butter or oil to the skillet you just used if desired, before putting onion and garlic to sauté. Let onion caramelize a little bit, about 10 minutes, and add your cabbage to caramelize as well. When it is nice and brown, add spices, then bone broth. Next add your canton gum to thicken your sauce a bit. Turn down heat to low and add cream, letting everything simmer until it is your desired thickness.

I’m late to the party, but you guys are great! You should have a million subscribers! I smoked pork chops yesterday (indoor smoker) and have a cabbage in fridge… perfect
Looks wonderful as usual! I like the thick cut of the pork chop. Most of the time when you buy them they are cut about 1/2 inch thick. My Dad used to raise pigs and always had the chops cut at least in thick and then cooked them on the Traeger. SO GOOD!
Please mention measurement size of skillet and its sides
sho leather LOL
Amazing! I just made it! The cabbage/ onion you can use with any kind of meat!
Looks perfect to me!!
Yum yum….I love good pork chops
Cabbage is underrated.
I’m lovin’ this channel.
Keep ‘em coming, ladies! 🍖🥬🍳
Cabbage is a great idea. I brine the chops for about 20 minutes before cooking and they are tender tender!
THANK YOU!! This will be supper on Saturday. I am blessed to have all these ingredients. I really liked having you talk through the recipe, also because, once again, you guys make me laugh!! #man down. I am in full keto right now (probably because we're not allowed to go out!! #quarantine 2020) So this is the time to enjoy these good keto meals!!
