Thinly slice the onions and mince the garlic. Set aside.
Season the pork steaks on both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork steaks to the skillet and sear each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove the pork steaks and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter to the skillet, and let the butter melt.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the onions are soft and lightly caramelized.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
In a small bowl, mix the flour with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry.
Pour the chicken or beef broth into the skillet and stir in the flour slurry. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the pork steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the onion mixture.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the pork cook in the sauce for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 145Β°F/63Β°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve the pork steaks hot, smothered in the onion sauce. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or a side of your choice.
