Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Cut the pork neck into bite-sized cubes, about 2-3 cm. Avoid cutting them too small, as this can lead to a less satisfying texture after cooking. Aim for pieces that are substantial enough to retain a pleasant chewiness.
Step 2
Season the cubed pork neck generously with salt and ground black pepper. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes. This step enhances the natural flavor of the pork and helps to tenderize it.
Step 3
Prepare the vegetables by dicing them into similar bite-sized pieces as the pork. Remove seeds from the bell pepper before dicing. Keep the garlic cloves whole. For the Korean chili peppers, you can remove the seeds and chop them roughly, according to your preference for heat. The colorful vegetables will make the dish visually stunning.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the delicious chop steak sauce! In a bowl, combine 4 Tbsp ketchup, 2 Tbsp seasoned soy sauce, 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce (or oyster sauce), 2 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp vinegar, and a pinch of ground black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined. This sauce should have a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory notes. Feel free to adjust the sugar or vinegar slightly to match your taste.
Step 5
Heat a little cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated pork neck cubes and cook until the exterior turns opaque and changes color. Cooking over medium heat helps seal in the juices, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Step 6
Once the pork has started to change color, add 10g of butter to the pan. Allow the butter to melt completely and coat the pork as it cooks. The butter will impart a rich, aromatic flavor to the meat.
Step 7
After the butter has coated the pork, add the whole garlic cloves and diced onion to the pan. Sauté them until the onions become translucent and the garlic releases its fragrant aroma.
Step 8
When the garlic and onions are partially cooked, add the diced bell pepper and chopped Korean chili peppers. Stir-fry all the ingredients together until the vegetables are tender-crisp. The key is to cook them just enough so they retain a pleasant crunch.
Step 9
Pour the prepared chop steak sauce over the ingredients in the pan. Using a spatula, stir continuously to ensure the sauce evenly coats the pork and vegetables. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens and glazes the ingredients, creating a beautiful sheen.
Step 10
Once the sauce has reached a desirable consistency and the pork and vegetables are thoroughly cooked, your pork neck chop steak is ready! Serve immediately while hot. This dish is perfect as a hearty side or a stunning main course.
