A wine-infused barbecue sauce adds a ton of flavor to these slow cooked pork shoulder steaks.

serves/makes:

ready in:
over 5 hrs

ingredients

4 pork shoulder steaks, 1/2-inch thick
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 large tomatoes, sliced
1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca pearls
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

directions

If the pork steaks are large, cut them in half. Trim off any excess fat.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork steaks on both sides. Remove the pork to paper toweling to drain.

Place the onion, bell pepper, and tomatoes in the bottom of a 4-quart crock pot. Sprinkle the vegetables with the tapioca.

Place the pork on top of the vegetables.

Combine the barbecue sauce, wine, and ground cumin in a small bowl until smooth. Pour over the pork in the crock pot.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are soft.

Serve the pork steaks with the vegetables and sauce.
