-
Sprinkle pork steaks with salt and garlic powder, then coat lightly with flour.

Reserve remaining flour for later use in the gravy.
-
Heat salad oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Brown pork chops on both sides until golden, about 8 minutes total.
-
Remove pork to a platter and set aside.

In the remaining oil in the skillet, cook sliced onions for 2 minutes until softened.

Stir in the reserved flour until blended with the oil and onions.
-
Gradually stir in water, crumbled bouillon cubes, and paprika, heating to a boil.

Return the pork chops to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

-
In a large bowl, combine thawed hash browns, eggs, chopped parsley, 2 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1/2 cup flour, and baking powder.

Mix until the mixture forms a soft, cohesive dough.
-
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 16 equal portions.

Shape each portion into a smooth ball.

Gently drop the dumpling balls into the boiling water, stirring carefully to prevent sticking to the bottom.
