Tomato Braised Pork Steaks – pan fried and finished in a sweet, savoury, and tangy tomato sauce with garlic and onions. Simple yet delicious!

I recently discovered the joy of cooking Tomato Braised Pork Steaks, a dish that is both simple and satisfying. With just a few ingredients and some basic cooking techniques, you can create a delicious and flavourful meal that is sure to impress.

To make this dish, you’ll need some good quality pork steaks like pork chops, pork scotch fillet or pork shoulder chops, as well as some fresh tomatoes, garlic, and onions. Start by pan frying the pork steaks until they are golden brown on both sides. Then, set them aside and prepare the tomato sauce.

To make the sauce, sauté some garlic and onions until they are fragrant and soft. Then, add in the fresh tomatoes and let them cook down until they are soft and tender. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, as well as a touch of sugar and vinegar to balance the flavours.

Once the sauce is ready, return the pork steaks to the pan and let them braise in the tomato sauce until they are cooked through and tender. The result is a dish that is both sweet and savory, with just the right amount of tang from the tomatoes.

I love serving Tomato Braised Pork Steaks with some steamed rice and a side of sauteed greens. The dish is hearty and satisfying, perfect for a cosy night in or a casual dinner party with friends. Give it a try and I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do!
