How do you cook pork steaks?

13 replies

TabithaTwitchet · 22/11/2010 16:41

Am very Blush that I need to ask this, but in my defence I don't buy slabs of meat all that often - and I used to get them from Sainsbury's that had helpful cooking directions inside the packet, that are sadly missing from my current purchase.

So, I have 3 pork steaks, about 1.5 cm thick, with a very thin line of fat at one edge. DH wants them roasted with roast potatoes, I am worried that they will dry out if I do this - and also have no idea what temperature/how long to cook them for.
Any tips, anyone?

There is a fantastic recipe card I have here, may be based on Nigella. Fry 2-3 sliced onions gently for 10 mins, with some sliced bacon for last few mins. Take it out of pan. Coat your pork steaks in mix of flour, cinnamon, ground cloves, cardamon, then fry for 2-3 mins on each side. Now put whole lot in a casserole with 4 sliced apples, the onion back in, and the steaks, mix, and tip in 750ml cider (or apple juice, or I've even used some cheap champagne and it still works). then cover casserole and all in oven for 3 hrs at 170C/gas mark 3. so good with mash.

I just stick them under the grill for about 20 minutes! Grin

put em in a casserole dish, chop up some manky apples that you have in the fruit bowl, bung in a tin of chopped tomatoes and some grated carrot or chopped leeks or whatever you have. Cover, cook for about an hour in medium oven. Serve with some kind of potato.

by medium - 180 degrees, gas 5

Liking the sound of the Nigella one, but I don't have 3 hours! Or any apples, sadly, DD ate the last one this afternoon.
Will maybe shove them in a casserols with tomato and carrots though - do I put them in raw or brown them first?

Add a bayleaf to the casserole and/or some rosemary. Slug of cider, too? I'd brown them first, it adds flavour. Tablespoon of flour, couple of grinds of salt and black pepper. Toss the steaks in it before frying lightly to colour them.

that nigella sounds good

i have some pork steaks in my freezer, and brand-new oven with a timer (yay, old one didnt) AND some oldish apples from the in-laws apple tree so sounds like a good excuse to have that to me Smile

I either grill or fry them, after you've cooked them cover with foil and let them rest for a while.

I love pork steak, sausages, mash and beans. My grandma used to cook that every Saturday when I was a kid!

Mix a teaspoon or two of mustard with a pot of cream or soured cream then pour over pork steaks.

Bake in the oven for about 30-40 minutes depending on thickness of steaks.

Grill on one side, then turn them over and cover with English mustard and sprinkle with brown sugar. Should be done after 4-5 mins, when the sugar's caramelised and bubbling. Nice with cauliflower cheese.

This is nice pork with lemon Parmesan breadcrumbs

I dust them in chinese 5 spice, and fry with red peppers, red onion and pineapple chucks. Then add some honey, red wine vinegar & soy sauce & simmer until sticky. Firm favourite in our house! Full recipe here.

I braise mine slowly in the oven with sliced onion, fennel and veg stock.

Some yummy ideas on here though.
