Smothered Pork Shoulder Blade Steak
Cooking pork shoulder blade steak in a pan and smothering it with a mushroom onion cream sauce makes for a delicious and savory dinner everyone will love. Serve with rice, cauliflower rice, and a green veggie like broccoli.
Ingredients
- 1- 1 ¼ lb pork steak boneless and cut into 2
- 8 oz crimini mushrooms sliced
- ½ large onion thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- salt & pepper
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Sprinkle both sides of the pork steaks with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet on medium high heat, sear the pork steak on both sides, which will take about 4 minutes on each side.
- Remove the pork steaks from the stove and put them on a plate to set them aside. Cover with plate with foil to keep warm.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the sliced onions and mushrooms to the skillet and cook them for 4 minutes until they start to soften. Add the garlic and cook it for 1-2 more minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Sprinkle the mushroom and onion mix with salt, pepper, and dried thyme and combine. Add the chicken broth, turn up the heat to medium-high and bring it to a boil. Once it starts to bubble, lower the heat to medium and cook it for 5 minutes until it starts to reduce.
- Add the pork steaks and the heavy whipping cream to the pan and cook it for about 5 more minutes until the sauce has started to reduce and the pork steaks are cooked through to at least 145 F. The sauce will continue to thicken upon standing.
Notes
- We always let our meat sit out 20-30 minutes before cooking to start bringing it to room temperature. This helps the meat to cook more evenly. If you skipped this step the pork could take longer to cook.
- We always sear meat on the stove in a cast iron skillet, it does the best job of getting meat nice and browned.
- The recipe is both keto-friendly, low carb, and gluten-free. To make a dairy-free, Whole30, and paleo version, use coconut cream instead of heavy whipping cream.
- While crimini mushrooms were used in the recipe, any type of mushrooms can be used such as white button mushrooms, shitake, oyster, portabella, or a mix of varieties.
- We cooked 2 pork steaks in the skillet, but 3 would fit..plus there's plenty of sauce for 3 pork steaks.
