The creamy sauce complements the pork chops and the onions perfectly, and the hint of caraway seeds adds a unique, nutty flavor to the dish.

Instructions

1.In a shallow dish, mix flour, thyme, salt, and pepper. Coat pork chops with the mixture, shaking off any excess.
2.In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and olive oil together. Add the pork chops and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Set aside and keep warm.
3.In the same pan, add onions and caraway seeds, stirring occasionally until onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Add beer, stirring to loosen any browned bits. Bring to a boil and cook for 5-8 minutes or until the liquid is reduced by half.
4.Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in sour cream and chopped parsley. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Serve the pork chops with the sauce on top.

The sauce is high in calories and fat, making it not the best option for people on a low-fat diet.

Also, the alcohol in the beer evaporates during the cooking process leaving behind negligible flavor but the calories.
