Pork Steak and Onions Recipe

Overview:

This classic pork steak and onions recipe brings out the best flavors through slow braising. The result? Tender pork steaks complemented by sweet, caramelized onions, cooked to perfection in a large electric fry pan.

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 pork steaks
  • 3 large onions
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Water
  • Cooking spray

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pork Steaks:

    • Season both sides of the pork steaks generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  2. Heat the Pan:

    • Spray a large electric fry pan or a very large skillet with cooking spray.
    • Heat the pan to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Brown the Pork Steaks:

    • Brown both sides of the seasoned pork steaks in the hot pan until they develop a nice caramelized crust.
  4. Braise the Pork Steaks:

    • Once the steaks are browned, add 2 cups of water to the pan.
    • Cover the pan and let the pork steaks simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes.
  5. Turn and Continue Cooking:

    • After 15 minutes, turn the pork steaks over.
    • Check the liquid level and add more water if needed to maintain about 1/2 inch in the pan.
    • Continue cooking for another 15 minutes, ensuring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Add the Onions:

    • Cover the pork steaks with sliced onions.
    • Adjust the water level again to ensure the onions are partially submerged in the liquid.
  7. Finish Cooking:

    • Cook for an additional 15 minutes, turning the meat as necessary to ensure even cooking.
    • Poke the onions into the cooking liquid to enhance flavor absorption.
    • Add more water if the pan becomes too dry, ensuring the onions cook down until they are caramelized and soft.
  8. Final Steps:

    • Allow the cooking liquid to reduce almost entirely.
    • Add about 1 cup of water to deglaze the pan, scraping up any remaining browned bits.
  9. Serve:

    • Remove the pork steaks and onions from the pan, ensuring to include the flavorful cooking juices.
    • Serve hot, with the caramelized onions and pan juices spooned over the pork steaks.

Tips:

  • For an even richer taste, consider stirring in sour cream during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Ensure to monitor the liquid level throughout cooking to prevent the pan from drying out.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Enjoy the rich, savory flavors of this pork steak and onions recipe, perfect for a hearty family dinner or a cozy weekend meal!
