[Home Cooking] Delicious Pork Neck Steak
For parents finding it hard to dine out with their kids due to COVID-19, here’s a special recipe for tender pork neck steak, complete with a secret sauce-making tip! This guide will help you create a restaurant-quality steak right in your own kitchen, making mealtime special and enjoyable for the whole family.
Main Ingredients
- Pork neck steaks (approx. 2 inches thick): 2 cuts
- Salt: a pinch
- Pepper: a pinch
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Before you begin cooking, prepare the salt and pepper, which will season the steak and enhance its flavor.
Step 2
Season the pork neck steaks generously on both sides with salt and pepper. This step is crucial for tenderizing the meat and locking in the delicious juices for a more flavorful steak.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the Tonkatsu sauce (3 Tbsp), oyster sauce (1 Tbsp), spicy BBQ sauce (1 Tbsp), oligosaccharide (2 Tbsp), minced garlic (1 Tbsp), cooking wine (1 Tbsp), and mustard (1 Tbsp). Whisk everything together until well combined to create a delicious steak sauce. The oligosaccharide will add a wonderful glaze and a touch of sweetness.
Step 4
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the seasoned pork neck steaks in the hot skillet and sear them until they are nicely browned on both sides. Starting with a slightly higher heat initially helps to create a beautiful crust and prevent the juices from escaping.
Step 5
Once the steaks are browned, pour the prepared steak sauce generously over the meat. Ensure the sauce coats the steaks well, allowing it to begin caramelizing.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the steaks, turning them occasionally, until they are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly and coated the meat beautifully. This gentle simmering ensures the steak remains tender and moist.
Step 7
*⭐Pro Tip*: To save time and create a complete meal, prepare your side dishes like french fries, mushrooms, and garlic beforehand using an air fryer before you start cooking the steak. This way, everything will be ready at the same time!
Step 8
*⭐Pro Tip*: For a fun and appealing presentation, especially for kids, serve the steak over a bed of rice. Sprinkle with crumbled seaweed (gim) and sesame seeds to create a complete, delightful steak platter or bowl!
