It sounds weird (really, even after having eaten it, it still sounds kind of awful), but it makes delicious comfort food on a cold night. It’s wonderful with cornbread. And in a year when beef prices have blown holes through supermarket ceilings, it’s nice to find a great recipe for an unloved and unlovely cut of meat.

• 4-6 pork steaks
• 3-4 cans French cut green beans
• 1 large onion, sliced
• Salt
• Pepper

Sear the pork steaks on high heat; salt and pepper to taste. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Drain the canned green beans, but save liquid from 1-2 cans. Put the green beans into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Top the beans with the seared pork steaks, and top each steak with an onion slice. Pour reserved liquid over steaks. Cover tightly with foil, and bake at 300 degrees for 2-4 hours or until tender.
