Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork steaks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 4 cloves fresh garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon thyme leaves, fresh
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth (paleo-friendly)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a good sear and flavor penetration.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 4

Rub the marinade generously over both sides of each pork steak. Allow the steaks to marinate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors absorb.

Step 5

While the pork is marinating, slice the onion thinly and set aside.

Step 6

Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork steaks for 2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. This step adds flavor and seals the juices in.

Step 7

Arrange the sliced onions around the pork steaks in the skillet.

Step 8

Pour the chicken broth over the steaks and onions, ensuring they are partially submerged to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Bake for 50 minutes, or until the pork is tender and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve the savory baked pork steaks with the onion and broth mixture from the skillet. Enjoy your paleo-friendly meal!
