Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Pat the pork neck slices dry with paper towels. Ensure they are evenly thick for consistent cooking.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Season the pork neck slices generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Place the seasoned pork neck into the hot pan and sear for 3-4 minutes per side over medium heat, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat to prevent burning and ensure the inside is juicy.
Step 4
To make the steak sauce, combine 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 3 tablespoons of tonkatsu sauce, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of oligosaccharide, and 2 tablespoons of mirin in a small bowl. Whisk until well blended.
Step 5
Once the pork neck is nicely seared, pour the prepared steak sauce over the steaks in the pan. Let it simmer gently over medium-low heat for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the steaks evenly and thicken slightly. This process adds a beautiful glaze and deepens the flavor.
Step 6
Remove the glazed pork neck steaks from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes. Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and succulent steak.
Step 7
To prepare the lemon mustard dressing, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of minced onion, 1/2 teaspoon of whole grain mustard, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of dried parsley in a separate bowl. Continue whisking until the dressing is well emulsified and smooth.
Step 8
Arrange your favorite salad greens on a plate. Slice the rested pork neck steak and place it on top of the greens. Drizzle generously with the freshly made lemon mustard dressing. For an extra touch, you can serve it with a fried egg on the side. Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
