This was a pretty spontaneous dish. I'd used 3/6 of the pack of pork steaks I had for the Pork & Apple Stir Fry I'd already done so needed to use up the rest. I grabbed some Panko breacrumbs I'd bought for a £1 at the BBC Good Food Show and got to work.
Ingredients (To serve 1):
- 2 Pork Steaks
- About a tablespoon of Olive or Sunflower oil
- 3 teaspoons of Sage
- 5/6 tablespoons of Breadcrumbs (I used Panko, but any will do)
- Salt and Pepper
- 1/4 Lemon to garnish
- A handful of Rocket
When it comes to breadcrumbs and seasoning it's all down to your own taste really - these are only guidelines!
Steps:
- Pour the olive oil into a bowl and make sure the pork steaks are lightly covered
- Sprinkle over the breadcrumbs, salt and pepper and sage and make sure it's evenly spread on one side of each steak
- Put both steaks under the grill for about 2 minutes or when the breadcrumbs have crisped a little
- Move the steaks into the oven at 160C for 20-25 minutes
- Check if the pork is ready by using a skewer or knife to see if the juices run clear. If not, keep cooking.
- Serve the steaks with the slice of lemon on top of a bed of rocket

I have massive love for Julia Child for saying this. I've never understood people who skip meals, you're missing out on an opportunity to eat something amazing! Every time I eat it's like a mini event for me.

This is one I'd been thinking about for a while. I love playing around with type of food so thought I'd try doing a British-y stir fry. I had a look round and found that you can fry apple pretty easily and that was the real winner. It turns out fried apple is soft and delicious. Here, like with most stir frys, most of the ingredients are pretty exchangeable (I only added the noodles to bulk it up a bit) but the apple is key.
Ingredients (For 3/4):
- 3 Pork Steaks
- 1 Carrot sliced
- 1 Apple sliced
- 1 Parsnip sliced
- 1/2 Onion sliced
- 2 Garlic Cloves diced (or some Minced Garlic from a jar will do)
- 1 150g pack of Straight to Wok noodles (I use Amoy ones but any other kind of noodle will do)
- A few teaspoons of Apple Sauce
- 2 teaspoons (or so) of Sage
Steps:
- Heat some oil in a wok on a high temperature
- Fry the onions and garlic for about 3 minutes
- Add the apple and cook for another 2 minutes
- Add the pork and fry until the pork has sealed on all sides
- Chuck in the veg and let it heat through for a minute
- Spoon in as much apple sauce as you want and mix it through
- Add noodles if you want them
