Step 1:

How do you make skillet pork braised in tomato sauce? Get everything you need ready. Rinse the pork under running water and pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. I'm using pork leg.
Step 2:

Cut the pork into thin, roughly even strips.
Step 3:

Peel the onion, rinse it in cold water, and cut it into half-rings.
Step 4:

Heat a skillet until hot and add a little vegetable oil. Add the cut meat and fry until golden.
Step 5:

Then pour in a little hot water, cover, and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes. The meat should turn tender. Let the water cook off completely.
Step 6:

Add the cut onion to the skillet. You can add a little more oil. Stir and leave covered for another 5–7 minutes, stirring now and then, until the onion softens. Season with a little salt and spices to taste. For some heat, add a little chili pepper.
Step 7:

In a separate bowl, combine the tomato sauce with the water, stir in a little flour, and mix.
Step 8:

Pour the tomato mixture into the skillet and bring to a boil, stirring. Heat it all together for a minute, then take it off the heat. As it comes to a boil, the tomato sauce thickens. Stir in some fresh parsley. Leave the meat covered for 5–10 minutes to let the flavors settle.
Step 9:

The pork in tomato sauce comes out really tasty and aromatic. Pair it with any side you like. Enjoy!

Important! The wrong skillet can ruin even the best recipe. For all the details on picking the perfect pan for different dishes, read more here.
If you're using a store-bought spice blend, always check the ingredient list. These blends often already contain salt, so keep that in mind or you risk over-salting the dish.
For this recipe it's better to use fresh meat rather than frozen — otherwise the cooked meat can turn out dry.
