Grilled Pork with Chilli-Braised Cabbage and Garlic Mushrooms and Potato

Serves:  2

Prep Time:  10 mins

Cook Time:  30 mins

What You’ll Need:

• 3 pork steaks
• ¼ white cabbage, shredded
• ½ long red chilli, chopped
• 1 tblsp butter
• ½ cup water
• 3 tsp chicken stock powder
• 8 button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 desiree potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• Salt and pepper
• Olive oil
• Instant gravy powder (pork / roast meat)

What You’ll Need To Do:

1. Place potato into boiling water and cook until just soft.  Set aside. 
2. Combine cabbage, chilli, butter, chicken stock powder and water in a saucepan with a lid.  Braise over a medium heat with the lid on for about 20 minutes.  Top up the water if it gets dry. When braised, season with salt and pepper. 
3. Rub some salt and olive oil onto the pork steaks.  Place in a hot frypan and cook, approximately 5 minutes on each side (depending on thickness of the steaks).  Test with a knife – there should be no pink in the middle.  Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
4.   Combine the potatoes, mushrooms and garlic in a pan.  Saute until mushrooms are soft and potatoes have browned.  Season with salt. 
5. Add boiling water to the gravy powder and stir. 
6. Plate the dish by slicing the pork and placing it on the bed of cabbage.  Add potatoes and mushrooms and top with a generous amount of gravy.
