Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the pork neck steaks. Aim for thick cuts, about 3cm (1.2 inches), as this ensures a juicy and tender steak.
Step 2
Gently pat the pork neck slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Then, score the surface of the meat with a knife in a crosshatch pattern. This helps the marinade penetrate better and tenderizes the meat.
Step 3
Apply the marinade ingredients: minced garlic, olive oil, and black pepper. Rub them evenly over both sides of the pork neck. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes to infuse flavor and reduce any porky smell.
Step 4
While the pork is marinating, prepare your side vegetables. Chop up any vegetables you have on hand, such as lettuce, bell peppers, zucchini, onions, or mushrooms. Lightly sauté them in a pan with a little olive oil and season with salt. These will make a lovely salad or garnish.
Step 5
Prepare the star of the show: the sauce! In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients: soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, oligosaccharide, soju, pepper, steak sauce, and water. Stir well until everything is dissolved.
Step 6
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Place the marinated pork neck slices in the hot pan. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until nicely browned. This searing locks in the juices.
Step 7
Push the steaks to one side of the pan and pour the prepared sauce into the cleared space. Bring the sauce to a vigorous boil over high heat until it starts to thicken slightly. Then, reduce the heat to medium, allowing the sauce to coat and simmer with the pork. In the final stages, lower the heat to ‘low’ and continue cooking, checking the steak’s doneness, until the sauce has nicely glazed the meat.
Step 8
For an extra touch of flavor, grill the pineapple slices alongside the steak. To serve, arrange the beautifully cooked pork neck steak, sautéed vegetables, and grilled pineapple on a nice plate. Enjoy your delicious homemade steak dinner!
