The Scoop

Pork chops got the creamy mushroom treatment, and they are absolutely thriving!
Thin, golden pork is topped with tender mushrooms and a rich Marsala cream sauce that soaks beautifully into buttery egg noodles.
It’s savory, silky, and just fancy enough to make an ordinary dinner feel like a restaurant order.
Hack it:
Swap the pork chops for chicken breasts, turkey cutlets, or veal.
Add shallots or caramelized onions to the mushrooms for extra sweetness.
Use cremini, baby bella, or a mix of wild mushrooms instead of button mushrooms.
Add fresh thyme, rosemary, or sage to the sauce for a more herb-forward finish.
Leftovers:
Slice the pork and toss it with the sauce and noodles for an easy creamy pasta.
Turn it into a toasted sandwich with melted provolone and sautéed mushrooms.
Chop the pork into a creamy mushroom rice bowl.
Add chopped leftovers to a frittata or omelet.

Ingredients

  • 6 pork chops, boneless
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound white button mushrooms, quartered
  • 1 cup beef broth, plus more as needed
  • 1 cup Marsala wine
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Optional for serving:

  • buttered egg noodles, to taste
  • parsley, to taste, chopped

Directions

  • Before prepping the pork chops, check to see if they have bands of fat at the edges. If they do, make shallow cuts in the fat going down to the sinew about 1 inch apart from each other. This will help to prevent the pork chops from curling during the cooking process.
  • Set the pork chops between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, then beat them with a heavy skillet or mallet until 1/4-inch thick.
  • Season the pork on both sides with the salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Place the flour in a shallow dish.
  • Dredge the pork in the flour, shaking off the excess.
  • In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil.
  • Add in half of the pork chops, cooking until browned and cooked through at 145 degrees F, around 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Repeat this process with the remaining pork.
  • Add the mushrooms to the skillet, stirring them occasionally.
  • Cook until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Pour in the beef broth and Marsala wine, stirring to deglaze the pan, scraping up the brown bits at the bottom. This will help deepen the meat flavors of the sauce.
  • Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5-6 minutes. Add in more broth as needed if the liquid reduces too quickly.
  • In a small separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the heavy cream.
  • Once the Marsala sauce is rich, dark in color, and reduced by half, pour in the cream mixture and allow it to bubble and thicken for about 1 minute.
  • Turn the heat off, stirring in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • Serve with buttered noodles, with the mushrooms and Marsala sauce on top and garnished with the parsley.
