Sweet Balsamic Pork with Caraway Slaw
This German-inspired main course features pork shoulder steaks cooked on a griddle with a sticky glaze of ketchup, balsamic vinegar, honey and garlic. They are paired with a fresh, creamy slaw made from shredded cabbage, carrot, red onion and caraway seeds. Ready in just 20 minutes, it's a flavourful weeknight dinner served with a baked potato.
Ingredients
- 4 pork shoulder steaks (about 600g)
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp clear honey
- 2 garlic cloves finely grated
- 225g white cabbage shredded
- 1 large carrot coarsely grated
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- baked potato to serve
Method
- Check the thickness of the pork shoulder steaks. Should they be thick, flatten them using a saucepan base or rolling pin to ensure quicker cooking and prevent the glaze from burning.
- Combine the ketchup, balsamic vinegar, clear honey and grated garlic in a shallow dish. Coat the steaks thoroughly in this mixture. You can cook them immediately or leave them to marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Heat a griddle pan and cook the steaks for 3-4 mins on each side.
- Toss together all the slaw ingredients with the mayonnaise and season well. Plate the cooked pork alongside the slaw and a baked potato to serve.
