Here’s a delicious recipe for Pork Steaks in Creamy Mushroom Sauce — tender pork steaks in a rich, savory sauce that’s perfect over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta. 🍖🍄
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2–4)
- 2–4 pork steaks (boneless or bone-in)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme or 1 tbsp fresh thyme
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter sauce)
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1–2 tsp flour (optional, for thickening)
🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the Pork Steaks
- Season pork steaks with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear pork 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through (internal temp ~145°F / 63°C).
- Remove pork from skillet and set aside.
2. Make the Mushroom Sauce
- In the same skillet, add mushrooms and cook 5 minutes until browned.
- Add onion and garlic, sauté 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables (if using) and stir to coat — this helps thicken the sauce.
- Pour in chicken broth, cream, and mustard. Stir and simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
3. Combine & Serve
- Return pork steaks to the skillet and spoon sauce over them.
- Simmer 2–3 minutes to let flavors meld.
- Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
🍽️ Tips
- For extra richness, finish the sauce with a small knob of butter.
- White wine can replace part of the broth for more depth of flavor.
- Garnish with fresh parsley for color and freshness.
I can also give a slow cooker version so the pork becomes extra tender and the sauce develops even richer flavor. Do you want that?
