Place pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet.
In a bowl, mix almond flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
Place coconut flour on a third plate.
Dredge each pork chop in coconut flour, shaking off the excess.
Dip each flour-coated pork chop into the beaten eggs, then coat with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the pork chops in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
While the pork chops are cooking, mix soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sugar-free ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and stevia in a small bowl to make the sauce.
Serve the pork katsu hot with the prepared sauce drizzled over or on the side.
