Chinese Pork Fillet Steak recipe

Pork collar is a dark-coloured meat, with some fat and connective tissues. It is fantastic for a quick cooking steak as the meat is tender, juicy and flavoursome.

Perfect for a weekend treat and I know my boys will devour it!

The key to making a great pork steak is to tenderize the meat before cooking. I used the back of the knife to hit each steak in a criss-cross pattern before marinating. To ensure even cooking time, each slice should be roughly of the same thickness and size.

Another tip is to never overcook the pork as it will dry out and turn hard.
