Nice easy dinner. I added minced garlic to the mushrooms and thickened the beef broth a bit more than the recipe called for. Served with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. The family loved it. Nothing fancy here but will make again.
Made this tonight. The hubby loved it as is with one minor change. I used regular chicken stock instead of low sodium. This may be why the dish tasted too salty to me. I'd suggest using the low sodium stock not the regular. Also, if you are not big on mushrooms, like my husband, you can reduce the amount by half or even less if you so choose. I also liked the "gravy" aka the "sauce". I'm glad it was more saucy than like traditional gravy, which can be kind of heavy. Solid recipe. Will make again with the changes noted above.
The family loved this meal! Based on the reviews, I tweaked the recipe a bit. I cooked the mushrooms with a teaspoon of garlic (add the garlic with a minute left of cooking mushrooms so it won't burn). I removed the meat to let sit and then made the gravy. Then for the gravy, I used beef broth and doubled it. You need to bring it to a boil and cook for a minute to get it to thicken and then I added a pat of butter to finish off the gravy and that made a huge difference.
This was really delicious. I actually doubled the gravy part so we could have it with the mashed potatoes. The gravy thickened right up for me. I just doubled the ingredients as outlined in the recipe and it worked for me. It doesn't look like a gravy with flour, so the appearance is not the same so don't expect a solid, floury looking gravy. It's not translucent but sort of the consistency of, if translucent has a consistency :). But it's GOOD.
I'm giving it three stars with reservations. My family liked the general idea of this recipe, but if I make it again there will be a major change. I used McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning, which we love on steaks. Big mistake!!! It was WAY too salty. In fact, the seasoning was simply overwhelming. Next time, I will use an herb rub from another pork chop recipe--with no salt--instead of steak seasoning.
This was very tasty and I would make it again. I think the shiitake mushrooms really made this dish! We are going to try the sauce on beef patties.
My family liked this one. I doubled the steak seasoning and added garlic, so it had lots of flavor. We had wild rice instead of brown, giving it great texture too.
I thought this was ok. It definitely was lacking in flavor. I agree that it probably would have been better with beef broth. And lots more seasoning. I served it with mashed potatoes and fresh green beans.
Very flavorful. I used a mix of shitake, portabella, and standard white mushrooms. The sauce didn't thicken enough, so you would definitely need rice or something else to soak up the sauce.
This was just okay. Loved the spice rub, but the "gravy" was thin and had almost no taste to it. Maybe some soy sauce stirred in for an earthy, salty kick? Definitely needed a bed of rice underneath to perk things up. Polenta would also be good.
I liked this and would make it again - very flavorful, quick, and easy. I made a few changes - used about 3/4 c broth, 1/4 c sweet Marsala, and spicy Montreal seasoning. Also, I used portabello mushrooms instead of shitake. I used more starch to make sure the sauce was thickened.
Very tasty, in spite of using too much pepper and not enough thyme due to misreading the recipe. I agree with other reviewers that the sauce remained a little too thin, so will have to experiment with that next time. Worth another try!
Great recipe for mushroom lovers. I served it over creamy polenta with a side of rainbow swiss chard. Delicious!
okay, I made a huge substitution because my husband and I do not like mushrooms, so I used sweet onions instead, fabulous meal, will definitely make this again and again
The flavor of the rub was good but the sauce was rather bland and thin, dispite the cornstarch. I'm not sure what exactly it's missing but it needs a little something extra. I used 1 Tblsp. fresh thyme, and had thick chops so finished in the oven. Served with brown rice and a green salad. Honestly, would probably not make this again.
The steak seasoning rub on the pork adds really nice flavor. I used baby bella mushrooms in place of the shitake's, and I agree with other reviewers that this recipe definitely needed some salt. Good recipe, but not what I would consider outstanding, although the presentation was very nice. Served with mashed potatoes, baby limas, and freshly cooked apples.
Was very quick and easy. The pork was juicy given the short cooking time. Would be better with beef broth (would give the gravy more flavor) Also would probably be fine with regular mushrooms instead of the pricey shiitake mushrooms. I added some salt as the gravy was quite bland. Served the dish with corn on the cob (it is summer after all!) and rotelli pasta as my hubby likes to put gravy on them as they hold gravy/sauce well. Would make again on a weeknight but would not serve to company or use for a special occasion.
We followed the recipe precisely (although our pork chops were thicker and therefore took longer to cook), and thought it was -- at best -- okay. Adding more salt and some Emeril's essence at the table (which we NEVER do ordinarily) made it a bit better. Overall, it was easy to make but pretty bland. The recipe went straight to the recycling bin, as we won't be making it again.
My husband and I love this recipe, great gravy to dip bread in or add mashed potatoes! We love the portabella mushrooms with this recipe. Sara must be missing her taste buds! I make this regularly for an everyday kind of meal!
Made as written and my husband loved this dish! I thought it was good those shiitake mushrooms were really good 1st time I've had them!
Made exactly as written. Very good and easy to make. Will cut down on the thyme next time as we thought it was too strong. Served with wild/brown rice mixture and fresh garden tomatos.
This was very good! My husband loved it! the only thing that I changed was I used steak, we are not real pork eaters. We had mashed potatoes and salad with it. I would make this for a special occasion or company. And would make it again for my husband!
