Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork steaks
- 4 medium plums
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Season the pork steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate.
Step 2
Cut the plums in half, remove the pits, and chop finely or blend into a coarse puree.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the plum puree, brown sugar, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and ground ginger to form the plum sauce.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, then remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then pour in the prepared plum sauce. Stir for 1-2 minutes to combine and bring the sauce to a simmer.
Step 6
Add the water to the skillet to thin out the sauce slightly, then return the pork steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the pork steaks simmer in the sauce for 20 minutes. Flip the steaks halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Uncover and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the pork steaks.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the pork steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the plum pork steaks with a drizzle of the sauce on top, accompanied by rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables of your choice.
