Pork steak on a grill pan is prepared from the boneless neck-rib part (or front part). This meat is rich in fatty layers, it should not be confused with a minute steak.

Pork steaks are usually thinner than beef steaks of the same type, i.e. somewhere around 1.5 cm, maximum - 3 cm. This is due to the fact that pork is by no means fried "with blood", which means that there is no need for especially thick pieces. An interesting fact: if normally pork is cheaper than beef, then a pork steak from an Iberian pig, for example, is not inferior in cost (and taste) to elite beef!

Unlike beef steaks, pork steaks are often pre-marinated, using quite ample, rich marinades that turn into sauce during cooking. So, a grill pan for cooking steaks in a large amount of thick marinade is irrational, it is easier to cook such dishes in a regular pan, without corrugation. But for the simplest frying of a pork steak with a minimum of dry seasonings, a grill pan is very good.

For two people, we need 2 pork steaks, salt and ground pepper to taste. Any dry seasonings are also suitable. Still need vegetable oil. The minimum is a teaspoon, but in the course of cooking it may turn out that it is necessary to add it additionally. It depends on the meat, and on the pan.

Ингредиенты

Pork steak - 2 pcs.

Vegetable oil - 1 tbsp.

Salt, black pepper - to taste

Рецепт

1. We put the pan on the highest heat. A strong heat should come from the grill pan, and a drop of water dropped on its surface should immediately boil.

2. While the pan is heating, grease the pork steaks with a small amount of vegetable oil, salt and pepper them (you can also sprinkle with dry seasonings).

3. First, fry the pork steaks on a very high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, then reduce the fire to medium and add another 4-6 minutes per side. From time to time we shake the pan so that the fat flows through the grooves under the steaks, they should not be fried dry. If, after the initial frying over high heat, it becomes obvious that the meat is not fat enough, add a little more vegetable oil.

4. In total, the pork steak in the grill pan is fried for about 20 minutes. At the end of this time, press down on the meat or lightly cut its surface with a sharp knife and check the color of the juice that comes out. In no case should the juice be bloody, the pork steak is only done completely fried.

5. For pork steaks from a grill pan, in fact, any side dish and any sauce for meat is suitable. But for me, perhaps, there is nothing better than the most ordinary mashed potatoes, poured over with fat from a frying pan in which a steak was fried.

6. Bon appetit.
