  1. I like 'em grilled but it's raining cats and dogs and I'm not a fan of
    keeping charcoal lit while standing under an umbrella in the rain.

    They are lean and have small bones in them. They probably should be
    braised, low and slow. I'm thinking perhaps marinade first in wine with
    garlic, a little oil, then brown and braise in chicken or beef broth?
    Served, perhaps, with some noodles tossed with butter and poppy seeds.

    Suggestions are welcome.

    I was thinking a braise with sauerkraut but boy, your idea sounds pretty
    dang tasty!

    I'm not a fan of sauerkraut and at any rate I don't have any 🙂 Since pork
    is "the other white meat" would you suggest beef or chicken broth?
    Naturally after I braise the pork I'll then thicken the broth to make a nice
    gravy. There will be leftovers - this is 2 lbs. of pork and I'm cooking for
    one. I'll probably have some steamed Fordhook limas too. I love those
    things 🙂

    Now I'm realizing they aren't all that lean... only in the center but they
    have a nice ring of fat around the outside. I won't have to add any oil
    after marinating when I brown them. Still wondering about the broth to
    use... probably won't matter one way or the other 🙂 I'll add a bay leaf
    and probably some thyme and thicken the gravy when the pork steaks are
    tender. Yummy!

    I was never quite sure about pork steaks. Are they the same or similar to pork
    chops? If so, I would suggest a dry rub and do them in a grill pa if you
    don't want to BBQ. Mix up some salt, black pepper, chopped mint, oregano and a
    bit of garlic powder. Rub the mixture on each side and let them sit an hour,
    then do them fast on a grill pan.

    hmm... got any decent white wine? Saute some onions or shallot chopped
    pretty fine, deglaze with either wine or stock (I'd probably go with
    chicken), reduce, stir in some whole grain mustard to your taste. Stir
    until smooth, pepper of course. Pull it off of the heat and mount some
    cold butter in it for texture and pour over the pork?

    I dunno, that's just the first thing that popped into the ol' pea-brain.

    chop.

    I was never quite sure about pork steaks. Are they the same or

    Larger - like bone-in loin chops. But the bones are small.

    If so, I would suggest a dry rub and do them

    I don't have any mint but I do have garlic. Marjoram will do in a pinch in
    place of oregano. Gonna marinate them in some white wine with onion and
    garlic for a bit, then brown and braise them.

    I have made something similar only used a green pepper ring and an onion
    slice on each chop. I covered it all with stewed tomatoes and baked.

    If I don't marinate and grill them, I like to braise pork steaks in
    apple juice until done/tender, along with chopped apple and onions. I
    remove the steaks from the pan and make a sauce from the cooking juices.
    We drizzle the sauce on the steaks, and have yams and a green vegie on
    the side.

    the rain.

    They are lean and have small bones in them. They probably should
    be braised, low and slow. I'm thinking perhaps marinade first in
    wine with garlic, a little oil, then brown and braise in chicken
    or beef broth? Served, perhaps, with some noodles tossed with
    butter and poppy seeds.

    Suggestions are welcome.

    Here's recipe from the past;

    3 lbs thick pork chops
    1 onion, cut into thin slices
    1 lemon, cut in thin slices
    1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    1/2 cup ketchup

    1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Season pork chops with salt and place in large baking dish.
    3. Top each pork chop with an onion slice and a lemon slice.
    4. Mix brown sugar and ketchup; spoon a couple of tablespoons over each
    chop.
    5. Cover and bake 1 hour.
    6. Uncover and bake 30 minutes longer, basting occasionally


    I have made something similar only used a green pepper ring and an onion
    slice on each chop. I covered it all with stewed tomatoes and baked.

    My own similar recipe from the past included covering the pork chops with a
    mixture of chili sauce, dry mustard, chopped green bell pepper, and crushed
    pineapple. Good thing pork chops are so forgiving!

    Have you thought about doing them in a mirpoix (sp)? This is what I do
    with this type of pork - also lamb shoulder chops.

    Finely dice about 3/4 cup each of carrots, onions, and celery (including
    leaves).

    Saute the vegetables gently in a little Canola oil in a cast iron pan
    until they are soft.

    Shove the vegetables to the side of the pan, then add the meat (pork
    chops, lamb chops, whatever) and cook for about 4 minutes on each side.

    Cover the pan with tinfoil and place in a slow (275) oven for about 1
    1/2 hours.

    I find these are *very* tender and flavourful. When I cook chops like
    this, I usually serve them with just salad.

    Co-incidence? I think not. Just another bunch of recipes obviously
    cut-and-pasted with no attribution

    Yeah, so what? Besides you don't know for sure that he did cut and paste
    them from there as opposed to getting them from somewhere else not that
    it matters either way.

    Want to bet the others are from www.cooksrecipes.com ?

    Hey "Chef" R. W. Miller, does your employer "Marriott Resorts & Hotels"
    know how you steal and claim the works of others are your own?

    Just where in his post did he explicitly claim them as his work?

  16. i always fried pork steaks in oil on top of the stove, after
    breading them.(like frying chicken)
    then serve with black eyed peas, and corn bread!

    I wound up doing my own version of "shake & bake" - breaded, seasoned. They
    were fatty enough to not require any kind of oil - baked at 400F for an
    hour. Crispy outside, tender inside.

    Now I'm realizing they aren't all that lean... only in the center
    but they have a nice ring of fat around the outside. I won't have
    to add any oil after marinating when I brown them. Still wondering
    about the broth to use... probably won't matter one way or the other
    🙂 I'll add a bay leaf and probably some thyme and thicken the
    gravy when the pork steaks are tender. Yummy!

    For pork cops, sure, but lamb chops? The tenderest of meats? Seems barbaric
    to me. I like to herb 'em and roast 'em.

    Scott.

  19. Rub them with a mixture of sweet paprika, ground fennel or anise and
    black pepper. (Rub them with a cut garlic clove first if you want.)
    Brown them with together with some sliced onions. Add some stock, and
    braise them until done. Thicken the gravy with some beurre manie.
    (Alternatively, add flour to the cooking grease after browning the meat
    and onions and make a roux). Serve with buttered noodles.

  20. STOP IT I am trying to lose weight and Pork Steak cooked in an iron skillet
    the way you describe sounds GREAT.
    I usually use Mushroom Soup and fix Mashed Potato instead of noodles, Heck
    why not both........
