Main Ingredients
- 300g pork stew meat
- 1/2 medium onion
- 5 cloves garlic
- 2 mushrooms (shiitake or your favorite)
Sauce & Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 Tbsp tonkatsu sauce
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (e.g., Mirin)
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 Tbsp tonkatsu sauce
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (e.g., Mirin)
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, lightly season the 300g of pork stew meat. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper over the meat and mix well. This seasoning helps remove any gamey odor and enhances the flavor.
Step 2
Next, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice 5 cloves of garlic. Dice half an onion into approximately 1.5cm cubes. Cut 2 mushrooms (shiitake mushrooms recommended) into roughly 1.5cm cubes as well. Cutting vegetables into uniform sizes ensures they cook evenly.
Step 3
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a heated pan over medium-high heat. Once the butter is fully melted, add the seasoned pork and stir-fry quickly until the meat is no longer pink and lightly browned on the outside. Searing the meat first helps to lock in its juices.
Step 4
Once the pork is mostly cooked, add the prepared garlic, onion, and mushrooms to the pan. Stir-fry everything together, allowing the vegetables to become coated in the cooking fat and mingle with the pork.
Step 5
Before the pork is completely cooked through, it’s time to add the sauces. Pour in 2 tablespoons of tonkatsu sauce and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking wine (like Mirin) to enhance the flavor and tenderize the meat. Stir-fry quickly to combine the sauces with the ingredients.
Step 6
Ensure the pork is cooked thoroughly for safe and enjoyable consumption. Continue to stir-fry over medium heat until the pork is completely cooked through. You can test for doneness by piercing the meat with a fork; clear juices should run out.
Step 7
Finally, add 1/2 tablespoon of sugar and stir-fry briefly one last time. The sugar complements the sauces, adding a subtle sweetness and balancing the overall flavor profile. Stir quickly to coat everything and give the dish a glossy finish.
Step 8
Transfer the beautifully cooked Pork Chop Steak to a serving plate. It’s ready to be enjoyed! This dish is exceptionally delicious when served hot. It makes a perfect side dish for rice or a delightful accompaniment to pasta.
