Prep Time 15 Min | Cook Time 55 Min | Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 3 lb pork steaks
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes
  • 2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 8-10 green olives
  • 4 oz parsley, chopped

Directions

  • Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and season the pork steaks on both sides. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer the steaks to a plate.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil and sauté the onion and mushrooms for 3-4 minutes. Add in bell peppers and sauté for another 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for a minute, then add in the diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and chicken stock. Mix well.
  • Return the steaks to the sauce and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, remembering to flip the pork chops a few times. Add zucchini and olives and cook for another 15 minutes. Garnish the steaks with chopped parsley and serve warm.
  • Enjoy!
