Smoked Pork Steaks

In a large skillet with a lid over medium heat, add the oil, carrots, onions, mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions just start to soften.
Push the veggies to the outside area of the pan and add the pork steaks to the center. Top the pork steaks with the char siu sauce, and add the broccoli, and snap peas to the pan, and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, turning the pork about half way through to coat it with the sauce. Cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, and vegetables are steamed and tender, about 15 minutes total.
Serve the pork as whole steaks or sliced, over steamed Jasmine rice, and top with cilantro, and green onions, as desired. Enjoy!
