Cooking Steps

• Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice zucchini and carrot into half-moons. • Chop broccoli (including stalk!) into small florets. • In a medium bowl, combine Aussie spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add pork loin steaks and toss to coat.

Little cooks: Help toss the pork steaks in the spice blend.

• Heat a large frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook zucchini, carrot and broccoli tossing, until tender, 4-6 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Season with salt and pepper. Transfer veggies to a second medium bowl. Cover to keep warm. • Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook pork until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). • Remove pan from heat, add BBQ sauce and the honey. Turn pork to coat.

TIP: Add a dash of water to pan with the veggies to help speed up the cooking process.

• In a medium saucepan, combine the water, milk and salt and bring to the boil over high heat. • Reduce heat to medium and slowly whisk in polenta, then cook, stirring, until smooth and thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from the heat, add the butter and a good pinch of pepper and stir until melted.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the sticky BBQ pork, finding it delicious and well-paired with the veggies. Some found the polenta bland, suggesting adding cheese for more flavour.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to cook overall, though some struggled with the polenta. Clearer instructions for cooking polenta would be helpful.
  • Suggestions: Several preferred mashed potatoes over polenta. Adding Parmesan cheese or cooking the polenta in stock improved its taste for some.
  • Portions: A few mentioned uneven pork cuts, with some pieces being too thin or fatty. Consider more consistent portioning.
  • Texture: The polenta's texture was challenging for some. Cooking it longer with more liquid might help achieve a better consistency.
