Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork steaks
- 4 medium plums
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Season the pork steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate.
Cut the plums in half, remove the pits, and chop finely or blend into a coarse puree.
In a small bowl, mix together the plum puree, brown sugar, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and ground ginger to form the plum sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, then remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then pour in the prepared plum sauce. Stir for 1-2 minutes to combine and bring the sauce to a simmer.
Add the water to the skillet to thin out the sauce slightly, then return the pork steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the pork steaks simmer in the sauce for 20 minutes. Flip the steaks halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Uncover and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the pork steaks.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the pork steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the plum pork steaks with a drizzle of the sauce on top, accompanied by rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables of your choice.
