Ingredients

  • 8 pork filets thin cut
  • 2 large onions halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic crushed
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Season the pork on both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside
  • In a large skillet heat the olive oil and add the onions. Cook over high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly. Reduce heat to medium low and allow the onions to continue cooking for a further 20 minutes or so. You are looking to completely soften, brown and caramelize the onions. Stir regularly as you are cooking your onions, You may need to add a splash of water to the pan during this process. Only do this, if you notice the onions are too dry and sticking to the pan.
  • Once the onions have completely caramelized, return heat back to high and add garlic. Give a good stir and move onions to the side of the pan. Add pork and cook each side over high heat for about 2 minutes per side. Stir around to combine the onions with the pork and reduce heat to low. Leave to cook for a further five minutes or so. Remove from heat and serve straight way.
