  • vegetable or canola oil, for browning pork
  • 32 oz. jar of sauerkraut with caraway seeds, rinsed and drained well

  • 1 Tbs. brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup your favorite beer

Instructions
 

  • To a large skillet, add 1 - 2 Tbs. oil over medium high heat.  When the oil is hot, add the pork to the skillet, working in batches, browning off the pork on all sides; remove the pork from skillet and set aside, repeating the process with the remaining pork steak pieces.
