Pork Steaks Ingredient Guide
Pork Steaks: Pork steaks are cut from the shoulder (AKA Boston Butt) and are typically fattier than pork chops. Look for 1-inch bone-in or boneless steaks that are about the same size. Pork chops can also be used in this recipe but tend to be leander so you’ll need to adjust the cooking time.
Seasonings: Herbs like thyme and rosemary add lovely flavor to this dish (fresh or dried). You can swap in herbs like sage, parsley, fennel, and mustard seeds as well.
Sauce: Butter and cream add richness while broth adds both salt and flavor. Feel free to whisk in extra herbs if you’d like.
Variations
- Use this recipe for other cuts of pork or other meats, such as pork chops, turkey, or chicken cutlets, (adjusting the cook time for each accordingly).
- Give the sauce other flavors by adding different spices or seasonings. Swirl in some Dijon mustard for a bit of zest.
