Description

Imagine sinking your fork into tender slices of browned pork, each bite infused with savory richness. This simple skillet dinner transforms humble ingredients into a comforting and deeply satisfying meal, perfect for a weeknight when time is short, but the craving for something hearty is strong. The pork, cooked to a beautiful golden brown, offers a delightful textural contrast – a slight crispness on the edges giving way to a moist and succulent interior.

What truly elevates this dish is the luscious pan gravy, born from the flavorful drippings left behind after searing the pork. As the pork cooks, it releases its natural juices, creating a foundation of incredible depth. A touch of flour thickens these savory essences into a velvety sauce, coating each slice of pork in a blanket of pure comfort.

The gravy boasts a rich, umami flavor that perfectly complements the pork, creating a harmonious balance on the palate. This dish appeals to those seeking a satisfying and flavorful meal without the need for complicated preparations or excessive seasoning. The pork itself provides a natural saltiness, enhanced by the deeply savory gravy, eliminating the need for added salt.

Each element works together to create a fulfilling and well-rounded culinary experience. It’s the kind of meal that warms you from the inside out, leaving you feeling content and nourished. Whether served over cauliflower rice, mashed potatoes, or alongside your favorite roasted vegetables, this skillet pork dinner is a versatile and delicious option for any occasion.

Its hearty nature makes it particularly appealing on cooler evenings, offering a comforting respite from the day's stresses. The ease of preparation and the depth of flavor make this a recipe you'll return to again and again, a reliable and satisfying staple in your culinary repertoire.

Instructions

    1.
    Start by cooking strips of bacon to a crisp over your stove. Once done, transfer the bacon to a cutting board and chop into imperfect bacon bits once cooled. Leave this aside for later. Also, make sure to leave any fat in the pan.
    2.
    Prepare the pork shoulder by cutting it into 4 steaks and removing any small bones, if necessary. Season the tops of the pork steaks with HALF of the seasonings (not including the pepper used for the pan gravy).
    3.
    Place the pork steaks seasoned side down in the pan of bacon fat. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning over the bare sides of the pork steaks. Place a lid over the pan and cook the steaks on medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, flipping once.
    4.
    Use a pair of tongs to transfer the cooked pork steaks to a clean surface to rest. Meanwhile, deglaze your pan over low heat by melting in the butter. With the heat on low, stir in the heavy cream and final amount of black pepper. Heat the cream sauce through until the fats have emulsified into a smooth gravy.
    5.
    Return the pork steaks to the pan of gravy over low heat. You can place the lid over the steaks to help them reheat through quickly. Sprinkle the bacon bits over the top of the pork.
    6.
    Enjoy hot! This skillet has been garnished with chopped parsley.
