Serving Suggestion

Pork Loin Steaks in a garlic and mushroom sauce is great when served with boiled baby potatoes or fresh mashed potatoes and a selection of vegetables of your choice for a hearty meal any night of the week.

Method

• Add the Olive Oil (or Melted Margarine) to a large frying pan and turn heat to medium-high. Season both sides of the Pork Loin Steaks and cook for 3 - 4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  

  Remove the Pork Loin Steaks from the pan and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are browned, usually 3 - 4 minutes.

  

• Add the finely chopped garlic and cook for a further 30 seconds.
• Add 1 tbsp of cold water to the pan and stir to deglaze.
• Add the Evaporated Milk slowly to the pan and, stirring occasionally, allow to simmer for 3 - 4 minutes. (if you prefer an extra thick sauce, add 1 tsp of flour or cornflour)
• Add the Pork Loin Steaks back to the pan and simmer for another 4 - 5 minutes until the sauce thickens - ensuring the Pork Loin Steaks are fully cooked through and piping hot.
• Serve your Pork Loin Steaks with broccoli, or a seasonal green vegetable of your choice, sweet corn and boiled baby potatoes - don't forget some crusty bread to mop up that creamy sauce too - enjoy.

  

Tips

Try hasselback potatoes instead of the boiled baby potatoes for an extra tasty twist.

For a different take on this recipe, add fresh chopped leeks and sliced onions when adding the mushrooms and use cooked Chicken Breasts instead of the Pork Loin Steaks.
