# Instructions:

Season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the onion-garlic broth over them. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.

Remove the pork chops from the skillet. Stir butter into the sauce until melted and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
