Instructions

for the sauce:

  • Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Once it's melted, add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they're soft. Next, add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  • Add the remaining sauce ingredients, whisking so that the arrowroot dissolves. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

for the pork chops:

  • While the sauce is simmering, prepare the pork chops. Season each pork chop with salt and pepper then set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet or cast iron over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops and cook for 2 minutes, then use kitchen tongs to flip them over and cook for 1 minute on the other side. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking them for 1 minute per side until they reach an internal temperature of at least 145° (Mine took 8 minutes total); cook time will depend on how thick your pork chops are.
  • To serve: Spoon the mushroom sauce over the pork chops and serve with your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
