Pork Steaks with Caramelised Onions

What is it about pork that loves it's sweet companions? Apple is the classic partner; honey is another well-known pairing, so I'm sure that Pork Steaks with Caramelised Onions will be excellent. It still amazes me when I think about it how harsh, tear inducing raw onion, becomes kind, comforting and sweet after cooking, especially after being sliced finely and sautéed slowly as it is here. Preceding the onion, I sear the pork steaks and transfer to a casserole dish after which I sit the onion on top together with garlic, butter and a few juniper berries for occasional, pleasing bursts of cleansing bitterness. I then finish the dish off in the oven for 20 minutes, which brings the juices out to soak up with some bread. A quick Monday night dinner I'll be having again.
