- 1/2 Onion
- 6 Whole Garlic Cloves
- 1 Egg
- Pinch of Salt (for seasoning)
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- 4 Tbsp Cooking Oil
- 1/2 Tbsp Butter
Savory Steak Sauce- 2 Tbsp Sugar

- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 3 Tbsp Ketchup
- 50ml Water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, score the pork neck steaks. Make shallow cuts across the surface of the meat. This helps the seasoning penetrate better and makes the meat more tender. Aim for cuts about 2-3 cm apart.
Step 2
Season the scored pork neck generously with salt and pepper. Ensure the seasoning coats the entire surface of the meat and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 3
Place the seasoned pork neck into a resealable plastic bag. Add about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil (or olive oil). Gently toss the meat to coat it evenly with the oil. This creates a protective layer that helps keep the steak moist during cooking.
Step 4
Prepare the whole garlic cloves by peeling them and then cutting them in half. Halving the garlic will intensify its aroma and flavor when cooked alongside the steak, making it a delicious side component.
Step 5
Peel and wash the onion, then dice it into approximately 2cm cubes. The onion will caramelize as it cooks, adding a lovely sweetness and a pleasant texture to the dish.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients: 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 3 tablespoons of ketchup, and 50ml of water. Whisk everything together until the sugar is fully dissolved. Having the sauce pre-mixed makes the cooking process smoother.
Step 7
Now, let’s cook the steak! Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the pork neck, diced onion, and halved garlic cloves. Searing the ingredients in a sufficiently hot pan is key to achieving a beautiful crust without burning.
Step 8
Increase the heat to high and sear both sides of the pork neck until golden brown and crispy. This step seals in the juices. Once the exterior is nicely browned, reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the steak is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Adjust cooking time based on steak thickness.
Step 9
As the steak finishes cooking, push the meat and vegetables to one side of the pan and add the 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the ingredients, adding a rich aroma and a beautiful sheen.
Step 10
Once the butter has melted, pour the pre-made steak sauce into the pan. You’ll hear a satisfying sizzle as the sauce heats up, releasing a wonderful aroma.
Step 11
Continue to simmer the sauce over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally or swirling the pan, until it thickens to your desired consistency. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.
Step 12
Spoon the rich, thickened sauce generously over the pork neck, onions, and garlic. Arrange everything attractively on a plate. Don’t forget to scrape up any delicious bits from the bottom of the pan to serve with the steak.
Step 13
Finally, prepare a fried egg with a runny yolk and place it on top of the steak. The combination of savory steak, rich sauce, and gooey yolk creates a truly spectacular dish. Enjoy your delicious homemade pork neck steak!
