Cooking Steps

In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
Add the sweet onion wedges to the skillet. Cook them until softened and slightly caramelized, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the dry red wine (or chicken broth) and increase the heat just until it simmers.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar and honey, mixing well. Let that simmer for another minute.
Gently add the smoked pork chops to the skillet. Cook them until heated through, about 5-8 minutes.
Finally, add the pear wedges. Cook until they turn tender, around 3-5 minutes.
