Pork Steak

猪肉排

Came across this pork chop recipe from FoodNatics. It is so good I have been cooking it at least once a month.

Ingredient

2 pieces of pork steak (1 inch thick)

Brine: 800ml water, 2 dried bay leaves, 6 garlic cloves (smashed, with skin), 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. 

Marinade: 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 tablespoon cooking oil

Method

1. Prepare brine by boiling for 5 minutes. Then leave to cool to room temperature.

2. Place the pork steaks into the brine and soak overnight in fridge or at least 30 minutes.

3. Remove the pork steaks from the brine and dab dry with kitchen towel. Discard the brine solution. 

4. Prepare the marinade and mix it well. Brush the pork steak with the marinade. Set aside for at least 1 hour.

5. Heat up the heavy iron skillet until it is smoking. Add a tablespoon of oil and lower flame to medium heat. Place the pork steaks into the skillet and fry each side of the steak until the edges are nicely browned and crisp.

6. Transfer the steak to serving plate and top with salad and french fries. ENJOY!
