Ingredients
- 4 pork chops about 1 inch thick, either bone-in or boneless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large onion thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon thyme or ½ teaspoon dried thyme, fresh leaves
- 1 cup beef broth low sodium
- ½ cup gruyere cheese grated, or Swiss cheese
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- parsley chopped (for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and sugar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add the minced garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour the beef broth into the skillet with the onions, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the onions and broth. Cover and simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the pork chops. Cover the skillet again just until the cheese melts, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve the pork chops hot, topped with the caramelized onions and melted cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes
- Use fresh thyme: Fresh thyme adds a more vibrant flavor, but dried thyme works well if that's what you have on hand.
- Caramelize onions slowly: Take your time to caramelize the onions properly for the best depth of flavor.
- Check pork chop thickness: If your pork chops are thicker than 1 inch, adjust the cooking time to ensure they cook through.
- Deglaze the pan: Scrape up any browned bits when adding the beef broth for extra flavor.
- Rest before serving: Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices and tenderness.
