Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 large yellow onions
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, place the pork chops in the pan and sear each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Cover loosely to keep warm.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, add the butter, and let it melt. Slice the onions thinly and add them to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet with the onions. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Add the Dijon mustard and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let them cook for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot with the tangy onion sauce spooned over the pork chops.
