Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt and coarsely ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 crisp apples, like Cortland or Macoun, skin on, cored and cut into eighths
1/2 cup semisweet white wine, like muscatel or off-dry riesling
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
About 1 1/2 to 2 pounds 1-inch thick pork steaks, cut from the boneless loin or shoulder
Flour for dusting
1 cup fruity but sturdy red wine, like Barolo or a ready-to-drink Cabernet

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine a large pinch of salt with a few grindings of pepper, the cayenne and garlic, and sprinkle apples with this mixture. Put apples in a baking dish, pour white wine around them, and bake until apples are shriveled but moist, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil over medium heat in a skillet large enough to hold pork. Dust pork lightly with flour and sear it on both sides for a total of just a minute or so; it need not become brown. Add red wine and adjust heat so mixture boils energetically. Cook pork, turning occasionally, until it gains a beautiful deep color, is cooked through and wine reduces to a syrup; about 10 minutes. Season meat with salt and pepper.
  • Serve pork with red wine sauce spooned over it, next to apples, with a little of the white wine they cooked in.

I'm not a huge fan of pork, but this recipe changed my mind. The pork steaks were cooked to perfection and the apples were a great addition. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use a tart apple instead of a sweet one. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow and the dish was ready in under an hour.
