An easy, one-pan dinner idea for tender, flavorful Pork Steaks topped with a savory brown onion gravy. Quick-cooking and sure to satisfy any appetite!

Provided by Kelly Anthony

Categories     Main Course

Time 28m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 teaspoons Kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
3 pounds thinly sliced pork shoulder blade steaks
2 tablespoons canola or avocado oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cup low-sodium beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

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.

BREADED PORK STEAK



Breaded Pork Steak image

In Spanish this dish is called bistec de puerco empanizado, translation: breaded pork steak, and it's super easy to make.

Provided by Elizabeth

Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound Thin Pork Loin Steaks (flattened to about a ¼ inch)
1 ½ teaspoons Salt
1 ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
½ teaspoon Onion Powder
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
¾ cup All Purpose Flour
1 cup Cracker Meal or Plain Bread Crumbs
2 large Eggs (beaten)
Canola Oil, for Frying

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.

GRANDMA BARBE'S ROAST PORK



Grandma Barbe's Roast Pork image

This delicious recipe is courtesy of Stephane Reynaud and can be found in his cookbook "Pork and Sons."

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin, cut from the tip
2 1/4 cups dry white wine
12 pearl onions, peeled
1 pound 2 ounces carrots, cut crosswise on the diagonal, into 1-inch pieces
2 1/4 pounds waxy potatoes, such as Yukon gold, halved
1 dried bay leaf
2 sprigs thyme
1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped, plus 2 sprigs
10 whole black peppercorns
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 cloves garlic, chopped
Fine sea salt

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.
