- 2 Tbs. Seasoned salt
- 1 Tbs. onion powder
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. pepper
- 4 (8 to 10 ounce) bone-in pork chops, 3/4 to 1 inch thick, trimmed
- 3/4 cup flour
- 2 Tbs. vegetable oil
- 2 onions, quartered through root end and sliced thin crosswise
- 1-3/4 cups water
- 1 Tbs. cider vinegar
- Combine seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper in bowl. Cut 2 slits about 2 inches apart through fat on edge of each chop. Pat chops dry with paper towels and sprinkle each chop with 1 tsp. spice mixture (1/2 tsp per side)
- Combine 1/2 cup flour and 4 tsp. spice mixture in a shallow dish. Dredge 1 side of chops lightly in seasoned flour, shake off excess, and transfer to a plate.
- Using highest saute or browning function, heat oil in multicooker for 5 minutes (or just until smoking). Place half of chops floured side down into multicooker and cook until well-browned on 1 side, 3 to 5 minutes, return to plate. Repeat with remaining chops, transfer to plate.
- Stir remaining 1/4 cup flour into fat left in multicooker. Cook, stirring constantly, until roux is color of peanut butter, 3 to 5 minutes. Add onions and remaining spice mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until onions begin to soften slightly, about 2 minutes. Slowly stir in water, scraping up any browned bits and smoothing out any lumps. Nestle pork chops into multicooker, adding any accumulated juices.
- To pressure cook: Lock lid in place and close pressure release valve. Select high pressure cook function and cook for 15 minutes. Turn off mutlicooker and quick-release pressure. Carefully remove lid, allowing steam to escape away from you.
- To slow cook: Lock lid in place and open pressure release valve. Select low slow cook function and cook until meat is tender, 2 to 3 hours. (If using Instant Pot, select high slow cook function and increase cooking range to 4 to 5 hours) Carefully remove lid, allowing steam to escape away from you.
- Transfer chops to serving dish, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest while finishing sauce. Cook sauce using highest saute or browning function until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off multicooker. Let sauce settle, then skim excess fat from surface using large spoon. Stir in vinegar and season with pepper to taste. Spoon sauce over chops and serve.
