Easy Pork Chops with creamy Keto Gravy

This is a super simple keto dinner recipe made with pan-fried pork chops. I serve mine with cauli-mash and keto gravy, although any non starchy veggies and a simple olive oil dressing will work.

Pork is relatively high in fat so it's perfect for a keto diet. When cooking with pork, I'm very selective and only go for outdoor-reared pork. I've listed all the reasons for my choices in this post.

Outdoor-reared pork will cost you more but it's totally worth it. It's worth mentioning that not everything we eat has to be organic, pastured, etc. To find out more, have a look at this post: Keto Diet on a Budget & Meal Preparation Tips.

Step-by-step

1. First you should prepare a batch of the Ultimate Keto Gravy.

2. Pat dry the pork chops using a paper towel (depending on the size of the pork chops you'll be using 4 medium or 8 small pork chops). Season with salt and pepper on both sides.

   

3. Heat a large pan greased with ghee. Once the pan is hot, add the pork chops and cook over a medium-high heat. Cook until the sides begin to brown, for about 2 minutes. Then, turn on the other side and cook for another 2 minutes.

   

4. Lower the heat and cook for another 5-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the meat. If you're using an instant read thermometer, it should read 60-63 °C/ 140-145 °F.

5. When done, transfer on a plate, cover with a foil and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. You can use splatter shield, it's great for catching spat oil.

6. Serve each serving with ¹/₄ cup (60 ml) Ultimate Keto Gravy. These pork chops pair well with a side of Creamy Keto Mash. The pork chops can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days, or frozen fr up to 3 months.
