Step 1
Pat pork steaks very dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high until smoking hot, about 2 minutes. Add a drizzle of oil.
Step 3
Sear pork 2 minutes per side without moving — the exterior should be golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add sliced onion to the same skillet. Sauté over medium heat until soft and beginning to caramelize, 4 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in paprika and caraway seeds. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in vinegar and broth, scraping any browned bits from the pan.
Step 6
Return pork to the skillet and simmer gently for 3 minutes, spooning sauce over the meat. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
