Spiced Pork Steaks

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Pound each piece of pork lightly with a flat mallet.

2. Step 2

   Combine the flour, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika and cayenne pepper in a flat dish and blend thoroughly.

3. Step 3

   Dredge the pork pieces on both sides in the mixture. Pat to make the mixture adhere. Shake off excess.

4. Step 4

   Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the meat pieces in one layer. Add the pork and cook over high heat until well browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook on the second side until well browned, about 2 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Transfer the pieces to a dish and pour off the fat from the skillet. Add the onions and garlic to the skillet and stir. Cook until wilted and add the vinegar. Stir and add the chicken broth, tomato paste and honey. Stir and bring to a boil.

6. Step 6

   Return the pork pieces in one layer to the skillet and add the bay leaf. Cover. Cook about 30 minutes or until tender. Remove bay leaf and serve.
