Balsamic Pork Chops with Onions, Mushrooms, Garlic and Thyme

1. Take the pork chops out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking and tenderize gently with a meat mallet (you don't want to make them thin); sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and let rest ~25 mins unrefrigerated until ready to cook.
2. Preheat a pan over medium high heat, add 2 tsp of avocado oil and then sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until browned; remove from the pan and cover with foil.
3. Turn down the heat to medium and add 2 more tsp avocado oil to the same pan (don't clean it!); add the onions and mushrooms; cook ~5 minutes until tender and then add the garlic and thyme; cook 1-2 mins.
4. Add the balsamic vinegar and the beef broth and turn heat up to medium high; cook 1-2 minutes so the liquid begins to reduce.
5. Add the pork chops and cook for 5-10 more minutes until internal temp reads 145°F and sauce has reduced.
6. Serve pork chops with the saucy onions and mushrooms on top; garnish with a sprig of thyme and enjoy!
