INTRUCTIONS

Pork Chops

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Season the pork with salt and pepper and pat each side with flour. Melt 2 Tablespoons olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Sear each side of the meat for 3-4 minutes on each side. Place them on a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
4. Bake for 10-15 minutes, do this when you add the chicken broth to the sauce. Note: Thinner, (3/4 inch pork chops) can be cooked in the sauce instead when you add the chicken broth.
5. Pork chops are sufficiently cooked when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.

French Onion Sauce

1. In the same skillet that you seared the meat in, melt 4 Tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. (Don’t clean the pan in between.)
2. Add the onions to the pan and toss to coat them in the butter. They will take a good 35-40 minutes to sufficiently caramelize. Use a silicone spatula to stir them occasionally as they cook.
3. Add the mushrooms and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Heat for 5 minutes, until the mushrooms soften and reduce in size.
4. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
