Ingredients
Pork Chops
- 4 pork chops center cut, bone-in
- Salt/Pepper to taste
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 4 lices gruyere or swiss cheese optional
French Onion Sauce
- 6 Tablespoons butter divided
- 2 large yellow onions sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 Tablespoon flour
- 8 oz. button mushrooms sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 1 ¼ cup chicken broth
- 1 sprig fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme
Instructions
Pork Chops
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Season the pork with salt and pepper and dredge each side with flour.
- Melt 2 Tablespoons olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for about 2 minutes per side. Transfer them to a baking sheet and let them rest while you prepare the sauce as outlined below.
French Onion Sauce
- Melt 4 Tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat. (Don’t clean the pan in between.)
- Add the onions and toss to coat them in the butter. They will take a good 45-60 minutes to sufficiently caramelize. Use a silicone spatula to stir them occasionally as they cook.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the white wine. Let it reduce by half, about 4 minutes. Use a silicone spatula to "clean" the bottom of the pan with the wine.
- Toss the onions with 1 Tablespoon of flour. Heat and stir for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Heat for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add the chicken broth and fresh thyme. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it simmer and reduce while you bake the pork chops.
- Bake the pork chops for 10-15 minutes, then return them to the skillet and spoon the sauce on top. Note: Thinner, (3/4 inch pork chops) can be cooked in the sauce instead.
- Optional: Top each pork chop with cheese. Let it melt in the oven or in the skillet covered with foil. Serve!
Notes
- Pork chops are sufficiently cooked when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
- Pork chops are sufficiently cooked when the
- internal temperature
- reaches 145 degrees.
- Chicken or beef broth can be used instead of wine.
- Thinner cuts of pork can also be cooked right in the skillet and added when the chicken broth is added.
