Instructions
- 1Make a few shallow cuts along the edges of the pork steaks (so they don't curl while cooking) and gently pound them with a meat tenderizer to achieve an even thickness.
- 2Season the steaks on both sides with salt and ground black pepper, then lightly coat each one in plain flour. Shake off any excess flour well.
- 3Heat olive oil in a large deep pan over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until nicely browned and crispy on the outside. Transfer the seared steaks to a plate and cover them.
- 4Add butter to the same pan and toss in the finely chopped onion. Stirring constantly, sauté for about 8 to 10 minutes until it completely softens and nicely caramelizes.
- 5Add the chopped garlic and mustard to the onion and sauté everything together for 1 more minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- 6Pour the warm beef stock into the pan and gently scrape up the tasty browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the bay leaf.
- 7Return the seared steaks to the gravy along with any juices that have collected on the plate. Cover the pan, reduce to a simmer, and slowly braise the meat for 20 to 25 minutes, until it becomes completely tender and the gravy turns silky and thick.
- 8Before serving, remove the bay leaf from the gravy, generously sprinkle the meat with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm with your favorite side dish (mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta).
