So I've got two really nice pork shoulder steaks from my farmer dude up the road. Going to make smothered pork chops (steaks) and rice tomorrow with them.

Think I'm going to go with The Cajun Ninja's recipe, but open to other suggestions.

Look at Smothered Pork Roast over Rice in
"Real Cajun: Rustic Home Cooking from Donald Link's Louisiana”

This NOLA.com article reprints it. LINK

season them. cut two onions. cut one bell pepper. brown the shite out of the steaks adding water every so often so as not to burn them. but, the closer you get to burnt WITHOUT actually burning them, the better.

take steaks out and add the onions and bell peppers. brown them up. add the steaks and some water. boil down until the gravy is tik tik. serve over rice.

THIS. When you think it's brown enough, let it brown longer. ALMOST to the point of burning it.

If it's between Cajun Ninja and Donald Link.....I shouldn't have to even finish that sentence.

Add a little sugar to the bottom of the pan and your pork steaks will come out nice and brown.

This right here,,,,I’m sure Donald Links is good, but the above method is traditional.

Lmao. It’s traditional if you’re some 4ft tall Louisiana baw. That’s not the way the rest of the planet does it. And I’m not saying that method is bad, by any means. That’s the way the coonasses I hunt with make every fricking thing, and it’s fine eating. But it’s not “traditional” unless you’re from down tha bayou

Ok, I’ll bite, what I stated is the traditional south Louisiana method,,,,,hope I clarified that enough,,,,so what’s the actual “traditional” way the rest of the planet does it,,,, not being a smart arse, genuinely interested in what everyone else is doing.

The way the rest of the South smothers a pork chop is to dredge it in seasoned flour,pan fry in an inch of oil until well browned,remove, drain most of the oil, add some of the seasoned flour for a quick brown roux,and the add water or stock to build a thin gravy. Add the chop back,cover on simmer until tender. Onions,trinity,etc. can be added when the roux is being built.

That’s a smothered chop.

I'll take the cajun way every time because, I rather my gravy come from the meat and onions than a roux.

More than one way to skin that cat. If you using a roux to make a gravy it's going to taste like roux.
