Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork steaks or center-cut pork loin steaks
- 1 yellow onion sliced in circles
- ½ bunch green onions diced
- 1 heaping tablespoon Better Than Bouillon roasted chicken base
- 1 cup water
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Olive oil for browning
- Granulated garlic to taste

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

- In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add green onions, then brown pork steaks on both sides. Remove and set aside.

- Cover and cook in the oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
