How to Make Bavarian Chops

  1. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each chop in flour, shaking off any excess.
  2. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once foaming, add pork chops.
  3. Brown chops quickly for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove chops from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add sliced green onions, minced garlic, and mushrooms to the skillet.
  5. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until onions are softened and mushrooms have released their moisture.
  6. Stir in thyme.
  7. Return pork chops to the skillet. Pour in beer, ensuring chops are mostly submerged.
  8. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  9. Cover and simmer for 7-8 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  11. Serve Bavarian pork chops immediately over buttered noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
