In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of your favorite salsa, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin.
Pour the salsa mixture over the pork steaks in the skillet.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork steaks reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with your favorite Mexican sides like rice and beans.
