Pork Steaks

Since we moved, my family's been on a real farmer's market kick lately. We've been going at least twice a week picking up red and yellow watermelon, pork rinds (we're so coon. We can't help it), grapes, strawberries and fresh veggies to make Sweet Baby Zo Zo's baby food. We've been frequenting Farmer Jones Market mainly, but decided to try the Miles Farmer's Market (http://www.milesfarmersmarket.com) the other day. They happened to have pork steaks bogo so they definitely came home with us (I only buy meat on sale).

I've never had a pork steak. Not that I know of. I honestly am not sure exactly what a pork steak is, but boy was it yummy. I used a recipe I found on foodgawker as inspiration and made it my own. It was a fiancé approved meal and fairly simple so I decided to share it.

Pork Steak with Marinara and Peach Pecan Chutney

2 pounds of pork steaks

4 carrots peeled and cut into chunks

One small onion

4 potatoes

1/4 cup chicken broth

8 oz can of finely diced tomatoes

1 1/2 cups maple syrup

One jar of peach pecan chutney (or peach preserves)

One cup Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons garlic, divided

Salt and pepper to taste

First I mixed the Worcestershire, half the garlic, salt and pepper together in a bowl. I let the pork steaks marinate for 2 days (I was too busy and didn't get around to cooking them. You most certainly don't have to wait 2 days)

Slice up the onion and remaining garlic. Sautéed until carmalized. Remove from pan. Cook pork steaks in pan until about halfway done.

While steaks are cooking, add diced tomatoes, maple syrup, chicken broth, chutney, and garlic/onion mix to a pot. Stir and let simmer.

Cut up carrots and potatoes (I left the skin on my potatoes, but you can peel them). Add to boiling pot of water until tender. Drain and add to sauce. Add pork steaks to sauce and let simmer until pork is thoroughly cooked.

Yum! Yum! Yum! The chutney gave this dish a little kick, which I loved. And so did fiancé. And so did my dog who enjoyed our bones.
