Inspired by Dexter Morgan’s double life, Tonight’s the Night Pork Steak in Tomato Sauce blends comforting warmth with a hint of darkness. Tender pork steaks slow cooked in rich tomato sauce, topped with a golden cheese crust served with creamy mash, cabbage and green beans. This dish is a meal for those who live in the shadows and always clean up after.

Cooking Instructions and Tips

Fry the Pork Steaks
1

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper.

Once hot, add the pork steaks. Cook until browned, 2-3 mins on each side. 

Reduce the heat to medium and fry for an additional 4-6 mins, turning every couple of mins. 

Once cooked, transfer to an ovenproof dish and cover with foil. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. The pork is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Prep Time
2

Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water with ½ tsp salt to the boil for the potatoes.

Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer). Trim the green beans.

Grate the Cheddar cheesePeel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Make your Mash
3

When your pan of water is boiling, add the potatoes and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pan, off the heat. Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk (if you have any) and mash until smooth.

Season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid to keep warm.

Preheat your grill to high for the pork.

Bring on the Sauce
4

Heat a drizzle of oil in the (now empty) pork frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add half the garlic and fry for 1 min. 

Next, stir in the passata, chicken stock paste and sugar (see pantry for amount). Cook until thickened slightly, 2-3 mins. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Spoon the tomato sauce over the pork steaks in the ovenproof dish and top with the cheese. Grill until melted and bubbly, 4-5 mins.

Cover the pork with a lid or foil to keep warm.

Cook the Veg
5

Meanwhile, clean the (now empty) sauce frying pan and pop back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil

Once hot, add the savoy cabbage and green beans. Stir-fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins.

Stir in the remaining garlic, turn the heat down to medium and cook for 1 min. 

Add a splash of water and immediately cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until the veg is tender, 4-5 mins. Remove from the heat.

Finish and Serve
6

When everything's ready, cut the pork steaks into 1cm thick slices if you'd like to.

Serve the pork steaks in tomato sauce with the mash, cabbage and green beans alongside.
