Pork steak with sautéed apples

By Johanna

Ingredients

• Marinade:
• 4 pork steaks
• 1 cup apple juice
• 2 Tbs lemon juice
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• Sautéed apples:
• 3 apples, peeled and sliced
• 3 Tbs sugar
• 1 Tbs fresh sage, chopped
• 1 glass (about 300ml) white wine
• 2 Tbs butter, cubed
• crispy sage, to serve
• mashed potatoes, to serve

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine the pork with all the marinade ingredients.

2. Cover and allow to marinade for at least 10 minutes.

3. In a large frying pan, sauté the apples for 2 minutes before adding the sugar. If the sugar forms clumps, don’t worry. Just keep on stirring and it will eventually melt. 4. Allow the apples to cook for 5-6 minutes keeping an eye on it, the sugar will make it burn easily. Add the chopped sage and set aside.

4. Heat a large frying pan and add 3tbsn oil. Fry the fresh sage now if you will be serving it.

5. Fry the pork steaks for 4 minutes a side (if they are 2-3cm thick). You want the pork to be completely cooked but still moist. I wouldn’t fry them for any longer than 6 minutes a side.

6. Remove the steaks from the pan and set on a plate covered with foil to rest for 5 minutes.

7. De-glaze the pan with the white wine. Add the butter and stir to combine.

8. Serve the pork steaks with the sautéed apples, crispy sage and the wine sauce on mashed potatoes.
