Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork steaks
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 200 grams cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season both sides of the pork steaks with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they have released their moisture and are browned.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir until the flour is fully incorporated. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw taste of the flour.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and dried thyme. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, then season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Transfer the seared pork steaks to a baking dish. Pour the mushroom sauce evenly over the pork steaks.

Step 10

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the pork steaks are tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F or 63°C).

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
