  1. 1

    Put the beaten egg in a shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, mix the bread crumbs and flour; season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Dip the pork steaks into the beaten egg, then press them into the bread crumb mixture to coat.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the coated steaks in the hot oil until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the steaks should register at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer the steaks to a platter and keep warm.

  4. 4

    Add the onion and mushrooms to the drippings in the skillet; cook and stir until lightly browned. Pour in the water and stir in the bouillon cube until dissolved. Simmer for about 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir together the sour cream and cornstarch in a small bowl; stir this into the skillet. Cook over low heat until the sauce thickens, but do not boil. Spoon the sauce over the steaks to serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
