In a bowl, combine the flour, pepper, and garlic powder.

Add the pork to flour mixture. Coat each piece well with flour. Shake off any excess.

Heat butter and oil in a large skillet. Add the pork and cook until all pieces are cooked and browned. Drain off any excess fat.

Sprinkle the dry onion soup over the pork. Then add the broth, water, and bay leaf. Give it a stir and then bring to a simmer.

Cover and simmer for 40 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and serve. If gravy isn't thick enough, add 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch or flour to the same amount of water until mixed well and add to the gravy while stirring.
