Continental Pork Chops - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 pork chops
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons unbleached flour
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 small onions, thinly sliced
4 fluid ounces lager beer or 4 fluid ounces ale

1 teaspoon cornstarch

Preparation

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper; coat them with flour.
Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan.
Add the pork chops; fry for 3 minutes on each side.
Add the onions (for a pleasant variation, use sliced pickled onions); cook for another 5 minutes, turning the chops once.
Pour in the beer and beef broth; cover and simmer 15 minutes.
Remove the pork shops to a preheated platter.
Season the sauce to taste.
Blend the cornstarch with a small amount of cold water; stir into the sauce and cook until thick and bubbly.
Pour over the pork chops.
Serve with brussels sprouts and boiled potatoes.
