Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork steaks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Bell pepper, diced (red or yellow)
- 1.5 cups Pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 stalk Green onions, sliced (optional)
Instructions
Season the pork steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork steaks and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork steaks from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the diced bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the pineapple chunks, ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Mix well to combine.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the skillet, stirring constantly to thicken the sauce.
Add the seared pork steaks back into the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the pork is fully cooked and tender.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with sliced green onions for garnish, if desired.
Serve the sweet and sour pork steaks hot with steamed rice or your choice of side.
