Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven pan, put the butter and the cubed pork. Cook until all the pork is browned, about 30 minutes.
• Add the onion,and the chicken bouillon and a little chicken stock. Let this simmer until tender (this is how you get good gravy on the stew).
• When pork is done, add the vegetables.

• Simmer until the vegetables are done.
• To thicken the gravy, I use the peppered gravy mix in a 1/2 cup water.
