Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops, 1 inch thick
- ½ cup butter
- 2 yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 slices gruyere cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, set aside. Cut the onions in half and slice them about ¼ inch thick to create half circles.
- In a large cast iron, or oven safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions into the pan, saute the onions stirring occasionally until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 20-30 minutes.
- Once the onions have caramelized remove them from the pan, add the pork chops to the pan and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Remove the pork chops from the pan and add the onions back in. Whisk in the flour to create a thick paste. Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking continually to avoid lumps developing. Remove from heat.
- Whisk in the Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the pork chops back to the pan and coat in the sauce. Cover each pork chop with one slice of Swiss and one slice of gruyere cheese.
- Place the skillet into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted nicely.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Serve the pork chops with the onions and sauce over the top and sprinkled with additional thyme.
Notes
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Caramelizing onions takes quite a bit of time, just remember to be patient and keep stirring it consistently.
You can just use one type of cheese if you prefer.
