Cook the Pork:
Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Pat the pork dry and season all over with salt and pepper.
Heat the neutral cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook without moving for 3-4 minutes until very well-browned. Flip and brown an additional 2-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Cook the Aromatics:
Melt the butter into the same skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms begin to brown.
Add the roasted garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and crushed red pepper.
Bake the Pork:
Place the pork chops on top and transfer to the oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes until an internal temperature of 140ºF is reached. Transfer to the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the tops of the pork chops crisp up again.
Transfer the pork to a plate to rest and return the skillet to the stove.
