Tonight's dinner was quick and easy, and came out well enough that I thought it was worth sharing. As usual, quantities and cooking times are after-the-fact estimates. Also, please be sure to cook your pork thoroughly and please taste the sauce throughout so you can adjust to your preferences. If anyone is interested, I served this with a small side of tomato with balsamic and fresh parsley (pictured above) and roast cauliflower (not in the picture).

Ingredients

2 people
  1. 2pork loin steaks (about 200g each)
  2. 1/2 cupchicken stock
  3. 3small shallots, thinly sliced
  4. 1 tbsor so coarse mustard
  5. 3-4 tbsunsalted butter
  6. 2 sprigsfresh thyme
  7. 1 tspsugar (optional)
  8. 1 tbsolive oil
  9. To taste, salt and pepper

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat pork steaks dry, pound them thin, season with salt and pepper, and let sit for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    In a large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Cook steaks until they have a nice sear and are done but still juicy, about 4 minutes or so on one side, then flip and cook for 2 1/2 or so on the other.

  4. 4

    Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm. Wipe off excess grease, turn heat down to medium-low, then add 1/2 the butter, shallots, and thyme to the pan.

  5. 5

    When the shallots are soft and brown, add the stock, mustard, and rest of the butter.

  6. 6

    Lower heat and simmer until sauce reduces. Be sure to taste and adjust: add sugar and/or water if too salty or too sour. Can also add more butter or some cream if you want it thicker.

  7. 7

    When the sauce is done, remove the cooked thyme sprigs, pour sauce into a separate bowl or over the pork, and serve.
