Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups apple cider
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Season the pork steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork steaks and sear for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside on a plate, covered loosely with foil.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the freshly grated ginger and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the apple cider, scrapping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Stir in the dijon mustard, honey, and fresh thyme leaves. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Slowly whisk it into the cider sauce, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Return the pork steaks to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes to warm through and absorb some of the sauce.
Serve the pork steaks on a plate with a generous drizzle of the cider ginger sauce. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
