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.
