Notes
Pork Chops - for maximum flavor, I use bone-in pork chops with fat intact to keep them moist. You can also use boneless pork chops if preferred.
Oregano - substitute with similar dried mixed herbs like Italian seasoning, Herbes de Provence, dried parsley, etc.
Beef Broth substitute - dissolve 1 piece of beef bouillon in hot water. You can also use chicken broth if preferred.
Cornstarch - use 3 teaspoons for thicker mushroom gravy.
Cooking Time - cooking may time varies depending on the cut and thickness of the pork.
Instant Pot - always follow the manufacturer’s guide for safety.
