Ingredients
- 4 thick boneless pork chops
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Dried thyme, to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 yellow onions, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tbsp flour
- ¼ cup red wine
- 1 ½ cups beef (or chicken) broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 cup gruyere cheese, shredded (more if desired)
- Fresh thyme sprigs, garnish
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, garnish
Instructions
- Pat the pork chops dry then season them with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, garlic powder, and fresh thyme, to taste, on both sides; set aside.
- Heat the butter in a large oven-proof cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, for 20 minutes, until softened and golden brown, and caramelized. Side Note: If the skillet gets dry while cooking and the onions are getting burned add a bit of water, you want them to cook slowly, not get charred.
- Remove the caramelized onions from the skillet and set them aside.
- Drizzle the olive oil in the skillet and heat over high heat. Add the seasoned pork chops and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown then flip them over and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown; remove from the skillet and set on a plate. At this point, the pork is not cooked through.
- Turn the heat to medium and return the onions to the skillet along with the minced garlic and fresh thyme leaves. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the wine and mix well.
- Stir in the broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Mix until well combined. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
- When the sauce comes to a simmer, nestle the pork chops in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the pork reaches a temperature of 145-150, for medium-rare.
- Top the chops with Gruyere then place in the oven under the broiler until the cheese is melted, gooey, and a bit golden.
- Remove from the oven then add fresh thyme sprigs and some fresh parsley to the top. Serve immediately.
