01
Pork

Heat a barbecue grill, flat plate or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Rub pork steaks with a little oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place on the heat and cook for 6 minutes on one side and 2 minutes on the other. Remove to a warmed plate, covered loosely with foil and a clean tea towel and leave to rest for at least 2 minutes.

Air frying method

Preheat air fryer to 200°C. Cook for 12 minutes, and flip after 6 minutes. Rest for 2 mins before serving.

01
02
Salsa

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Cover and keep in the fridge to allow the flavours will mingle. When ready to serve, remove from the fridge and season with salt.

02
03
To Serve

Serve pork steaks with the avocado salsa and twice-cooked baby potatoes.

03
04
Potato

Place the baby new potatoes in a large pot of cold water. Bring to the boil over a high heat and turn down to simmer until the potatoes are just tender, about 15-20mins. When cool enough to handle, slice the potatoes into thick slices and cook in a large frying pan with butter until golden.

Cook in the pan juices after cooking the pork steaks with a little added butter for great flavour.

05
Tips

Cook pork steaks that are at room temperature so you can time cooking accurately.

Rub the meat with the oil rather than adding oil to the hot grill or frying pan. The oil will just make added smoke.

You can buy roasted peppers in a jar in the supermarket if you are short on time.
