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.
