Balsamic and Blue Cheese Covered Pork Chops

The pig is nature's gift to man.  This meal was an attempt to take that gift and cover it in wrapping paper and put a bow on top.  That wrapping paper was balsamic and red wine covered onions and mushrooms.  That bow was blue cheese.  Sometimes, the gift wrap can add to the surprise and wonder of a gift.  This is one of those times.

Ingredients:
1 pork chop (bone-in, as nature intended)
1/2 cup red onion, sliced
1/2 cup mushroom, sliced
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
Olive oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Red Wine
Salt and Pepper

Recipe:

• Rub the pork chop down with salt and pepper to flavor. Grill in your preferred method:
• I like to go hot on each side to sear followed by a lower heat roast to cook it all the way through (medium rare for me).
• Sautee the onion and mushrooms in olive oil, adding balsamic when the onions are softened. Reduce the heat.
• Take the grilled chop, plate it, and add blue cheese on the top.
• Go back to the onions and mushrooms, add some red wine, give it a quick stir, and pour over the chop.
• Give the blue cheese a little time to melt between the heat of the chop and the vegetables.  It is worth the wait.
