Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Pork

Begin by cutting the pork steaks into approximately 1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces, ensuring they are bite-sized for easy cooking.

Step 2: Cook the Pork and Onion

In a large frying pan, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
Once the onion is soft, add the pork pieces to the pan, along with the garlic powder and sliced bell peppers if using.
Cook the pork until it is browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 3: Simmer with Tomato Sauce

Once the pork is cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour in the tomato sauce, stirring to combine.
Allow the mixture to simmer gently, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Sprinkle in the crushed chicken bouillon cubes, stirring well to incorporate them into the sauce.
Let the pork and sauce simmer together for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop further.

Step 4: Adjust Seasoning and Serve

Taste the pork and chile mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add a small amount of water if the sauce is too thick.
If desired, add salt to taste, keeping in mind that the bouillon cubes may already add some saltiness.
Once the flavors are balanced to your liking, remove the pan from the heat.
Serve the pork and chile over hot cooked white rice, allowing the flavors to mingle and meld together for a truly delicious meal.

Tips:

For an extra kick of heat, try adding some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the pork and chile mixture.
