Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. When oil is hot, add the pork chops and cook , 5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chops and set on a plate.
Add the chopped onions to the pan and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add 3 Tablespoons of the flour mixture into the pan and whisk, making a paste. Cook for 2 minutes.
