Cooking Steps

roast the veggies
1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. Slice the capsicum into thick strips. Place the potato, capsicum, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Toss to coat, then spread into an even layer and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: Cut the veggies to the correct size so they cook in the allocated time.

While the veggies are roasting, combine the garlic & herb seasoning and a good drizzle of olive oil in a large bowl. Add the pork loin steaks and toss to coat.

Thinly slice the red onion. In a medium frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring regularly until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, water and brown sugar and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.

Wash out the frying pan. Heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the pork steaks and cook until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Set aside on a plate and cover with foil to rest for 5 minutes.

TIP: Pork can be served slightly blushing pink in the centre.
