ZESTY PORK STEAKS WITH MUSHROOMS
🧑🧑🧒🧒 2 Servings 🧭 25 Mins 👌580 Cals
This is a really pleasant midweek dinner that feels a bit special without any fuss. The pork steaks cook quickly and stay tender, the mushrooms add that lovely earthy depth, and the orange brings everything to life with a bright, glossy sauce. The cranberry jelly melts in and adds just the right touch of sweetness to balance the vinegar. It’s the sort of dinner that looks good on the plate and feels satisfying, with plenty of protein built in.
ZESTY PORK STEAKS WITH MUSHROOMS
🧑🧑🧒🧒 2 Servings 🧭 25 Mins 👌580 Cals
INGREDIENTS
120g (4oz) basmati rice
200g (7oz) chestnut mushrooms
1 orange
2 (125g each) pork loin steaks
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp cranberry jelly
1 tsp red wine vinegar
10g (1 heaped tsp) butter
METHOD
STEP 1
Boil a half-full kettle.
Rinse the rice before adding to a large saucepan. Pour in boiled water, so you have approximately double the amount of water to rice.
Bring to the boil and simmer for 10-12 minutes (lid on).
STEP 2
Wash and dry the mushrooms. Cut into thin slices.
Wash the orange in warm soapy water to remove the wax. Zest and juice the orange.
Trim any excess fat off the steaks, then season well with salt and pepper.
STEP 3
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a med-high heat. When hot, add the pork steaks and fry for 2 minutes each side. At this stage the pork should be browned but not cooked through. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside. Fry the mushrooms for 5 minutes, until soft and browned.
STEP 4
Turn the heat to low, then return the pork to the pan and add the paprika, cranberry jelly, orange zest, orange juice and red wine vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer and stir to dissolve the cranberry jelly. Simmer for 5 minutes, turning half way through, until the meat is cooked.
Remove the pork and mushrooms from the pan and set aside to keep warm.
STEP 5
Turn the heat up a little and stir in the butter. Bubble for 2 mins until the sauce is glossy.
STEP 6
Share the cooked rice between your bowls. Add the pork and mushrooms to each dish. Then pour over the sauce
