Preparation

Steps

Pat the pork chops dry. Coat with the vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper.
Peel, halve then thinly slice the red onions. Mince the garlic cloves. Strip the leaves off of the rosemary and thyme stems, then finely chop.
Heat the skillet on high. Sear the chops for about 5 minutes each side, making sure to avoid moving them to get browning.
Turn the heat to medium and add the onions. Cook for about 10 minutes until mostly softened. Turn the heat to medium low and add the butter, tossing the onions to coat with the melted butter.
Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme and balsamic vinegar. Stir together, then add about ¼ cup of water. The glaze should have a lot of liquid at this point, but will reduce as it cooks.
Add the chops and any juices accumulated on the plate into the skillet. Coat the chops with the glaze a few times and continue cooking for about 5-10 minutes, until the glaze has thickened and chops are cooked through.
