Step 1
Pat pork steaks very dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear pork 3 minutes per side without moving — skin should be golden and crispy.
Step 4
Remove pork to a plate. Add onion to the pan, stir 1 minute, then add caraway seeds and mustard.
Step 5
Pour in beer and broth, scraping up any brown bits. Return pork to pan, cover, and simmer 8 minutes.
Step 6
Slide pork onto plates, spoon sauce and onions over top, and serve hot.
