Did you miss the sizzling pork chop gravy in your college days? When I was in college, my friends and I would always go to this sizzling house where in the rice will be covered by lots of gravy! Plus unli-rice! Oh those where the days when you eat and eat and it doesn't matter because everything will be digested after. This made me recreate the dish at home. Pork chop ala pobre is grilled pork steaks covered in lots of gravy!

How to make:

Seasoning the pork chops with garlic salt and pepper for half a day will ensure a flavorful meat. After grilling the pork in butter, you have to make the gravy.

For the gravy, you need to melt the butter in pan for low heat to prevent from burning it. Mix in the flour to form a roux. Add the seasoning cube, water, soy sauce and pepper and that’s it! Smothered it in your pork chops and gravy. You can topped it with toasted garlic!
