Serve in warmed tortillas, topped with tapenade, squeezed with lime wedges, drizzled with crema and topped with remaining chopped fresh cilantro.

Tips:

To ensure the pork steaks are cooked evenly, it's crucial to use a meat mallet to tenderize them before cooking. This will break down the connective tissues and allow the flavors to penetrate more easily.
For a richer and more flavorful sauce, use a combination of chicken broth and dry white wine. The wine adds a subtle acidity that helps to balance the richness of the pork and the sweetness of the tomatoes.
Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the pork steaks. If the pan is too crowded, the steaks will steam instead of sear, resulting in a less flavorful dish.
Be patient when simmering the sauce. The longer the sauce simmers, the more time the flavors have to meld together, resulting in a richer and more complex sauce.
Serve the pork steaks with a side of roasted potatoes or rice to soak up all the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

These Spanish pork steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork steaks are tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and complex. With a few simple tips, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home.
