Before You Begin
If you can't find thin cutlets, buy them thicker and pound them out.
Instructions
- Combine oil and garlic in small bowl. Microwave until garlic is softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Reserve 3 tablespoons infused oil, then whisk broth, vinegar, mustard, brown sugar, and thyme into remaining oil mixture.
- Pat pork dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon infused oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook half of cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter and tent with foil. Repeat with additional 1 tablespoon infused oil and remaining cutlets.
- Heat remaining infused oil in now-empty skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, covered, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in oil-broth mixture and any accumulated pork juices and cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Top pork with onion mixture. Serve.

Why This Recipe Works
We got bold flavor for our Mustard-Onion Pork Cutlets fast by cooking the pork cutlets and onion mixture in garlic-infused olive oil. Microwaving the garlic softened its bite and ensured it didn’t overpower the rest of the dish.
