Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pat the pork steaks dry with a paper towel and sprinkle both sides liberally with the seasoning. Set aside until ready to use.
- Add the oil to a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and allow to come to temperature. Add the pork steaks to pan, taking care not to overcrowd the pan and cooking in batches if needed. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook 3-4 minutes more. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining pork steaks. Set aside on a plate and make the gravy.
- Reduce the heat to medium heat and add the butter. As soon as the butter has melted, add the onion to the pan and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened and cooked through.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onion and stir until evenly coated. Then, one big splash at a time, add the beef broth, whisking well after each addition. Once the mixture starts to resemble pudding, add the remaining broth all at once. Add the Worcestershire sauce and whisk to combine. Allow to simmer, 3-4 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat.
- Serve your pork steaks with a ladle full of gravy and enjoy.

Steps:
- Add the salt, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper to a small bowl and mix well to combine.
- Sprinkle the pork steaks on both sides with about half of the seasoning mix.
- Use a large baking sheet (or a large piece of parchment paper) add the flour to one side and the cracker meal (or breadcrumbs) to the other. Season the cracker meal with the remaining seasoning and mix with a fork.
- Add the eggs to a large bowl and scramble using a fork or whisk, sprinkle with a little salt.
- Working with one piece of pork at a time, lightly coat it in the flour on both sides, shake off the excess flour.
- Next, dip the pork in the egg mixture; make sure the pork is evenly moist.
- Now, place the pork in the cracker meal or breadcrumbs, make sure there is an even coating and gently shake off the excess.
- Place the pork on a pan or plate and repeat with the remaining pieces. If you are stacking the pork, use a piece of parchment paper in between so that the coating doesn't stick to itself and flake off.
- Cover the bottom of a large, deep skillet with about a ¼ of an inch of oil. Heat the oil over medium-high. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, add 1 or 2 pieces of pork, do not overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the pork for about 2-3 minutes per side, turn and repeat until they're golden brown.
- Remove the pork from the skillet and place it on a baking sheet that is lined with a cooling rack. Fry the remaining pieces.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a Dutch-oven over medium heat. Add pork and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat, cover, and cook, turning occasionally, 1 1/2 hours.
- Add wine, onions, carrots, potatoes, butter, bay leaf, thyme, 2 sprigs parsley, and peppercorns; dot with butter. Cover, and let simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
- Season pork with salt and sprinkle potatoes with garlic and chopped parsley before serving.
Tips:
- Choose thin pork steaks for even cooking and to ensure they cook quickly.
- Pounding the pork steaks helps to tenderize them and makes them more receptive to the breading.
- Use a variety of seasonings in the breading mixture to add flavor to the pork steaks.
- Coat the pork steaks in flour before dipping them in the egg wash. This helps the breading to adhere to the pork steaks.
- Use a generous amount of bread crumbs to coat the pork steaks.
- Allow the pork steaks to rest for a few minutes before frying. This helps the breading to set.
- Fry the pork steaks in hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the pork steaks immediately with your favorite sides.
