Pork
steaks are good value and can be made into a quick and easy midweek dinner.
However today I have decided to add a
few extras to make a dinner that’s a little bit special.
This
recipe will give you
Oven Roasted Potatoes, Parsnips and Carrots
Hazelnut Crumb Pork Steaks
Peppercorn Sauce
Onion Rings
Peas
Oven
Roasted Vegetables
Hazelnut
Crumb Pork Steaks
Prepare the breadcrumbs by getting
some bread and blitzing it to a fine crumb. I have some blitzed hazelnuts left
over from a previous recipe so I am going to add these as well. To see that recipe

here.
Once you have mixed the breadcrumbs
put them to one side and prepare the pork.
The pork needs to be bashed out to
make it thinner, I would recommend ½ cm should do it, this will help the meat
cook quicker. I use a food bag and a rolling pin to get rid of some frustration
from the day and give those steak a good smack!
To make sure the breadcrumbs will
stick to the meat you will need to prepare a bowl of flour and a bowl of whisks
eggs.
Create a line of the bowls of flour,
eggs and breadcrumbs and dip each steak in the flour, the egg and finally the
breadcrumbs. After dipping into the four and the egg shake of any excess. When
adding the breadcrumb crust pat the breadcrumbs down and make sure the meat is
completely covered.
Keep any egg and flour you have left
as these can also be used for the onion rings!
To cook the steaks heat a frying pan
and cook the steaks, turn when golden and once golden on both sides put on an
oven tray and place in the oven to finish off.
Peppercorn
Sauce
The pepper corn sauce add a fantastic flavour
to the dish and is so simple to do! Finely chop a shallot (I had to use a bit
of white onion as I didn’t have any shallots) and crush some garlic. Cook the
onion on a low heat you don’t want to colour the onion just cook it through,
once the onions are on the way add the garlic and cook through. Now add some
brandy and set it alight (if you are brave enough) this will burn off the
alcohol for you leaving you with a lovely flavour. Add some beef stock and some
crushed peppercorns and allow to reduce, once you have a thickened sauce add
some cream and keep warm.
Onion
Rings
These onion rings are so crispy and
so light. Simply cut an onion into rings. I would then dip them into milk and
the flour however if you have any egg from the pork steaks you can use the egg
and then the flour. Once the onions are coated add to a deep fat fryer and
allow to cook! They will go very crispy and once brown take them out and job
done!
I found some mushrooms in the fridge so fried
these off with some olive oil, salt and pepper!
I had some frozen peas so I cooked them
up in the microwave and that its we are done!
Get everyone in to taste this midweek
delight!
