Pork Chops with Mushrooms and Sage

Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup butter, divided
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh sage
• 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Sprinkle pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter or oil. Add chops and brown on the first side about 3 minutes.
3. Turn chops and reduce heat to medium. Cook through, until center of chops register 135F on an instant read thermometer, about 7 more minutes. Remove chops to a platter and tent with foil.
4. Add remaining butter to pan and heat until just beginning to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add chopped sage and cook until fragrant and crisp, 1 minute. Watch carefully so it doesn’t burn.
5. Add mushrooms and garlic, and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper. Sauté until mushrooms are golden brown, about 7 minutes.
6. Spoon mushrooms over pork chops and serve.
