Instructions

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal texture.

2

Coat the pork chops

Season the flour with salt and pepper, then place it in a plastic bag. Add the pork chops and shake to coat them evenly.

Shaking the bag ensures an even coating without mess.

3

Brown the pork chops

Melt half of the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Brown the pork chops on both sides, then remove them and set aside.

Browning adds a rich flavor and seals in the juices.

Prepare the vegetable mixture

Add the remaining butter to the pan. Sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant, then add the celery and mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms release their juices.

Cooking the vegetables in the same pan enhances the flavor.

Ensure the pork chops are fully covered for even cooking.
