Herb & Garlic Pork Loin Steaks with Golden Cheddar Crust
TAKES 35 minutes | SERVES 4
What do I need?
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 200 g mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 4 pork loin steaks
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 20 g fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 60 g mayonnaise
• 100 g grated cheddar
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
How do I make it?
1. Preheat oven grill to medium-high.
2. Add olive oil to a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
3. Cook mushrooms first by adding them to the pan and sauteing for 4-5 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Add the garlic in the final minute. Season lightly, transfer to a bowl and set aside.
4. Season the pork with salt, pepper and oregano. Cook steaks in the same frying pan for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned but not fully cooked through. Remove from pan and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
5. Mix parsley, mayonnaise, grated cheddar and Dijon in a small bowl.
6. Spoon a layer of cooked mushrooms over each pork steak, then spread the cheese mix generously over the top.
7. Grill for 5-8 minutes until the topping is golden and bubbling and the pork is cooked through.
8. Rest for a few minutes before serving to keep the pork tender and juicy.
TOP TIPS
🍄 Make sure you cook the mushrooms well first to enable them to release and evaporate their moisture so the topping doesn’t become watery.
🍷 Add a splash of white wine to the mushrooms for an extra layer of flavour.
🧀 A sprinkle of Parmesan on top before grilling gives an even deeper golden crust.
