Meltingly tender pork collar steaks slow-baked to succulent perfection in a sticky, caramelized brown sugar and garlic glaze brightened with a splash of tangy cider vinegar. Basted to a deep golden sheen as the pan juices reduce into a rich, glossy syrup, this irresistible, tavern-style pork dish delivers deep, sweet-and-savory indulgence served alongside hearty cabbage and buttery potatoes.
