Here’s a complete, comforting recipe for Smothered Beef Chops with Potatoes in Gravy, just like a hearty family dinner 🤎🥔
🍽️ Smothered Beef Chops with Potatoes in Gravy
Ingredients
4 beef chops (or beef round / chuck steaks)
4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 large onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp vegetable oil or butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Optional: fresh thyme or parsley
Instructions
Season & sear the beef Season beef chops with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear chops 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
Build the gravy In the same skillet, add onions and cook until soft and golden. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds. Sprinkle flour over onions and stir for 1 minute.
Add liquid Slowly pour in beef broth, stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and bring to a gentle simmer.
Smother everything Return beef chops to the skillet. Add potatoes, nestling them into the gravy. Cover and simmer on low heat for 35–45 minutes, until beef is tender and potatoes are cooked through.
Finish & serve Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with herbs if desired. Serve hot with extra gravy spooned over the top.
Tips
For ultra-tender meat: simmer low and slow, don’t rush it.
Swap potatoes for rice or mashed potatoes if you prefer.
