Caramelized Onion Roast Pork Chop
Ingredients
  • 4 thick cut pork chops
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large onion, peeled and sliced
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Position a roasting rack in a shallow baking dish or roasting pan, ensuring it is not too deep.
3
Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper, then carefully place them onto the roasting rack.
4
Add sliced onions on top of the pork chops, creating a layering effect.
5
Pour approximately one cup of water into the bottom of the pan, leaving enough space between the water and the chops to prevent overflowing.
6
Cover the dish with aluminum foil or a tight-fitting lid, allowing for even cooking and moisture retention.
7
Place the dish in the preheated oven and roast until the pork chops are no longer pink in the center, taking around one hour.
8
Check for doneness by cutting into one of the chops; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 63 degrees Celsius.
9
Once the chops are cooked through, remove the foil or lid and return them to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes to achieve a golden-brown finish.
10
Keep a close eye on the dish during this final stage, as browning can quickly go from perfectly cooked to burnt.
