Easy pan-seared pork shoulder steaks, cooked simply for a quick meal.

Ingredients

• Pork shoulder steaks500 g
• Tallow or Butter30 g
• Sea salt1 tsp
• Black pepper0.5 tsp
• Dried thyme0.25 tsp

Method

1. Pat the pork shoulder steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
2. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron works well) over medium-high heat. Add the tallow or butter.
3. Once the fat is shimmering, carefully place the pork steaks in the skillet. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
4. Sear for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until a deep golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F) for medium-rare.
5. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes before serving.
