# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Generously season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.

# Helpful Hints:
01 -
For best results, sear pork chops to lock in juices and prevent dryness during simmering.
02 -
Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
03 -
Low-sodium beef broth is recommended to control the saltiness of the gravy.
