Ingredients

4 boneless 1 ½ inches thick cut pork chops
1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large white or yellow onions sliced into rings
2 tablespoon butter
4 garlic cloves minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup low-sodium beef stock
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
½ teaspoon fresh chopped rosemary
4 slices provolone cheese see note
Finely chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Generously season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet on medium-high heat. Place the pork chops into the hot skillet and sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes then flip and sear another 2-3 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter and melt then add in the sliced onions and cook 20-25 minutes stirring frequently the last couple of minutes add in the garlic and continue cooking until caramelized and browned.
Stir in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds. Slowly stir in the beef broth, and add in the chopped rosemary and thyme. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes just until thickened.
Place the pork chops back into the gravy and add the cheese slices on top. Bake 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the pork chop reaches 145 degrees. I recommend using a meat thermometer for an accurate temperature.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

Provolone is what I use, but Mozzarella Gruyere, Gouda, and even Swiss are good alternate choices.

If you don't have an oven-safe skillet just transfer everything to a 9x9 baking dish.

I highly recommend using a meat thermometer to check the doneness of your pork chops.
