Braised Pork Is What's for Dinner Tonight

Tweet

Braised pork steaks. Or in this case, braised pork butt steaks, which are a very similar cut, and only slightly different than an actual pork steak. But it's what's for dinner tonight, and if you have followed me long enough, you are well aware this is a common staple dinner in our house. We love pork enough anyway, that anytime we drive past a pig farm, all the pigs run and hide. Probably a wise decision, if you ask me. I seasoned the pork butt steaks with some Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and onion powder, and some B&D Meat's special seasoning blend which is very good. Let that marinate for about 15 minutes, then brown the steaks for 3 minutes on each side. Prepare a "braise mixture." This time I am using an "empty" jar of teriyaki sauce and mixing it with some broth. Shake it up to get all the bits, and then incorporate that with the meat, lower the heat and simmer for about an hour. It comes out like butter. We will have it with some baked beans and buttered cut green beans. This is definitely in the order of good eats, and I am looking very forward to it, especially considering we haven't had braised pork steaks in a while. I've been trying to cut down a bit on it due to a slightly elevated cholesterol level on my last visit to the cardiologist. What's going on your dinner table tonight? P.S. The picture is the pork right when the braise starts after browning. It's not even close to done.
