Cooking Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the butternut pumpkin into thin wedges. Place on the lined oven tray. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the mixed sesame seeds. Toss to coat and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

While the pumpkin is roasting, thinly slice the pear. In a small bowl, combine the char siu paste, brown sugar, soy sauce and water.

Season the pork loin steaks on both sides. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the pork loin steaks until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate to rest.

Return the pan to a medium-high heat. Add the char siu mixture to the pan and cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in any pork resting juices.
