2. Sear Pork: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add cubed pork steaks to the skillet and sprinkle liberally with garlic powder. Sear the pork until browned on all sides, ensuring a flavorful crust develops.

3. Add Vegetables: Once the pork is browned, do not drain the excess oil. Instead, add the diced onions and green pepper to the skillet, stirring to combine with the pork.

4. Season: Season the mixture with additional garlic powder, salt, pepper, and 2 teaspoons of chili powder, adjusting the amount according to your desired level of heat. For extra spice, add hot sauce to taste.

5. Cook: Cover the skillet and allow the ingredients to simmer together for 15-20 minutes, ensuring not to overcook the vegetables. This will allow the flavors to meld while maintaining the vibrant colors and textures of the vegetables.

6. Serve: Once cooked to perfection, serve the Mexican yellow squash with cubed pork steaks hot, either over rice for a hearty meal or enjoy it on its own as a satisfying dish.

7. Get Creative: Feel free to customize this recipe to suit your taste preferences. Add in other vegetables such as zucchini or tomatoes for added freshness and variety.
