Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Flatten the pork chops using a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.

Season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt and black pepper.

Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops to the skillet and sear until golden brown.

Transfer the seared pork chops to a sheet pan with a wire rack and splash with red wine to keep them moist in the oven.

Sprinkle a light amount of Italian seasoning over the pork chops before placing them in a 250-degree oven.

Deglaze the skillet with 1/2 cup of red wine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom.

Cook the onions in the wine and butter until softened but not completely wilted.

Add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste to the mixture to enhance flavor and thicken the sauce.
