I have made these with pork steaks several times and they never fail to be delish. Didn’t have thyme one time and used rosemary- very yummy also. Will make again and again

Made this several times and even my finicky family members love it.  I've had some issues getting the sauce to thicken so I added more flour and it worked out.  But 4.5 to 5 hours (I'm new to cooking and a little slower than most on the prep time) after getting home from work puts us at the table around 8 to 8:30pm which is kind of late to be eating.  Have you had any luck making this recipe in an instant pot.

I have made this so many times over the last 3.5 years that I’ve lost count. I have always made it as a Keto version by swapping the cornstarch for about 1/2 tsp  Xanthan gum. It has NEVER disappointed us. We LOVE the taste of this recipe and I LOVE how easy it is. I have even made this an instant pot favorite so I only have the one pot getting used. Life is good!

The suggested cooking time was way off. I cooked for 6 hrs on slow and they were falling apart and tough. The sauce saved the day. Decrease the time for sure!  I served with mashed potatoes and arugula sale with saved parm, olive oil and lemon.
