Main Ingredients- 200g Pork Loin (suitable for cubing)
- 1/2 Onion
- Pinch of Salt
- Pinch of Black Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the pork loin by cutting it into 2-3 cm cubes, ideal for steak. To ensure tenderness, you can lightly score the connective tissues with a knife or gently pound the meat with the back of your knife. Season the pork cubes evenly with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Peel the onion and cut it into large pieces, about 2-3 cm. Trim the roots of the wild chives, wash them thoroughly, and pat them dry. Cut the chives into lengths of about 3-4 cm. Thinly julienne the carrot to add a vibrant color.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the fragrant wild chive salad! In a bowl, combine the prepared wild chives and julienned carrots. Add the anchovy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic (if using), sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Gently toss everything together to combine, being careful not to overmix, which can bruise the delicate chives. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more vinegar or anchovy sauce if needed.
Step 4
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a generous amount of olive oil. Add the seasoned pork cubes and the large pieces of onion. Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown and nicely caramelized. Cooking over high heat for a short time helps to lock in the juices, creating a tender steak. The onions will also become sweet and flavorful as they cook alongside the pork.
Step 5
Once the pork is evenly browned on all sides and cooked through, remove it from the pan. Using kitchen scissors, cut the pork into bite-sized pieces. This method helps ensure even cooking and maintains tenderness. Arrange the wild chive salad attractively on a serving plate, and place the cooked onions alongside it.
Step 6
Finally, artfully arrange the bite-sized pork steak pieces on top of the wild chive salad. Sprinkle a few toasted sesame seeds over the pork for an extra nutty aroma. Your ‘Pork Cubic Steak with Spring Wild Chive Salad’ is now ready, offering a delightful combination of spring freshness and satisfying flavor. Enjoy immediately while warm!
