  11. 1 tablespoonWorcestershire sauce
  12. 1 tbsptomato ketchup
  13. sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cooking Instructions

45 mins
  1. 1

    Heat a skillet to a high temperature until smoking.

  2. 2

    Brush the pork with the oil. Use an oil with a high smoke point, not olive oil or butter. Fry in the pan for 4 minutes each side, then remove and set aside to rest. If your meat starts to curl, place a saucepan half-filled with water to hold it flat, ensuring even cooking.

  3. 3

    Remove the pork from the pan and allow to rest. Turn the heat down to low, add the oil and butter. Slice the onion quite thickly. Cook low and slow for 5 minutes then add the sugar and half of the vinegar to encourage caramelisation. Cook for a further 5 minutes

  4. 4

    While the onion is cooking prep the gravy. In a jug, stir all the ingredients into the hot water and allow to sit until the onions are done.

  5. 5

    Deglaze the pan by adding the rest of the vinegar and scraping the bottom with a metal spatula. Put the meat back into the pan, increase the heat to medium low, then stir in ¾ of the gravy. Bring to a nice simmer stirring all the time, then cook for a further 10 minutes turning the steak once until nicely reduced.

  6. 6

    If your gravy starts to thicken too much add some more from the jug. When it's just the right consistency cover the pan and remove from the heat. If your pan doesn't have a lid, use a lid from another pan or aluminium foil. Set to one side while you prep your veg.

  7. 7

    I'm serving mine with homemade baked beans, with butter and rosemary glazed baked potatoes, so I allow the meat and gravy to cool until the veg is about 5 minutes away from being done, then I put it back on a low heat, still covered, and reheat, stirring frequently.

  8. 8

    When your veg is ready, season, plate up, serve, and devour

I'm a designer/artist and I learned to cook when I started making my own Chinese food over 30 years ago. I'm a lover of my native British food, but recently I've developed a taste for American comfort food, especially sandwiches and BBQ (watching too much 'Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives' probably). 😸 Unfortunately, we don't have any independent US-style diners or drive-ins in my neck of the woods, so I had to learn from recipe books and the Food Network. I'll also be publishing some traditional UK classics in case any non-Brits want to have a crack at Brit grub.
