How to Make French Onion Pork Chops
- Add butter and half of your olive oil to a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add in the sliced onions. Cook your onions, stirring frequently, until softened and golden, about 10 minutes.
- Season the onions with salt and pepper. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue cooking your onions for about 10 minutes, or until deep golden and sticky/sweet. Remove the onions from the pan and set aside.
- Season all sides of your pork chops with salt and pepper.
- Turn the heat to high and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the pork chops inside of the pan and saute on each side until golden brown, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Lower the heat back to medium, and add the remaining olive oil. Add the sauteed onions back to the pan, and sprinkle with flour. Toss until the flour is not visible.
- Pour in beef stock, stirring frequently, until no lumps are remaining. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, any resting juices from the pork, and the pork chops.
- Spoon over some of the onions, top with shredded cheese, and broil on high until the cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh thyme, then serve and enjoy!
