Pork
steak was on sale a few weeks ago so I picked some up. I have cooked pork many
times, but never a pork steak. So I took to the internet to find a recipe for
preparing these. I was intrigued by this one but was a little nervous I
wouldn’t like it.
Ingredients:
¼
cup butter
¼
cup soy sauce
1
bunch green onions
2
cloves garlic
6
pork butt steaks
I
only had 2 pork steaks because they were huge! It was more than enough to feed
three of us. I just cut them up in to six smaller sections so they were easier
to fit in the pan.
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a skillet, and
mix in the soy sauce. Sauté the green onions and garlic until lightly browned.
2. Place the pork steaks in the
skillet, cover, and cook 8 to 10 minutes on each side. Remove cover, and
continue cooking 10 minutes, or to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
Of
course I didn’t have green onions and I didn’t remember to buy any, so instead
I cut up some yellow onion and added it in with the garlic. I laughed when the
directions said to cook until lightly brown – the soy sauce makes them
instantly brown; kinda hard to tell but I used my best judgment and it worked.
I am
not sure if it was because I didn’t actually have six steaks but there was more
than enough liquid in the pan. Plus the steaks were a little fattier cut so
they juiced themselves. It was more like they boiled instead of pan fried. Next
time I would actually reduce the amount of butter I put in this recipe. It
would help reduce calories and fat plus make it less juicy.
The
smell was a bit overwhelming while cooking. I didn’t mind it but Jake kept
claiming he wouldn’t eat whatever was making “that smell”.
Finally
they were done! I LOVED the flavor!!! Jake was refusing to eat any but I made
him try it. He ended up eating several servings! I would say it was a hit all
around!
We
will definitely make these again!! Next time I may try this sauce mixture with
a pork roast in the crock pot.
I tried this recipe in the crock pot as you suggested…YUM.
ReplyDeleteI kept the amount of juice the same but trimmed some of the fat off.
