# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Combine pork pieces with salt, herbs de Provence, black pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Toss to coat evenly.
02 -
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the pork and brown on all sides without cooking through. Remove and set aside. Repeat with remaining oil and pork.

Lower heat to medium. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté diced onions until translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
04 -
Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add beef stock while whisking to avoid lumps. Stir in balsamic vinegar and Better Than Bouillon paste.
05 -
Return seared pork and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Stir to coat and simmer for 5 minutes until the gravy thickens. Serve immediately.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
For best results, do not overcrowd the skillet when searing pork to ensure proper browning.

Leftovers can be refrigerated up to three days or frozen for up to three months.
