Step 1
Heat a heavy 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.
Step 2
Pat pork steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Sear pork 3–4 minutes per side without moving — surfaces should be golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add onion to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, stirring once. Stir in mustard, beer, caraway seeds, and bay leaves.
Step 5
Return pork to the skillet. Cover and transfer to a 375°F oven for 10 minutes until pork is cooked through.
Step 6
Remove from oven, sprinkle dill or parsley over the top, and serve hot straight from the skillet.
