Ingredients
- 4 pork loin steaks, fat removed, or 4 pork medallions
- 15g unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 2 small red onions, peeled and cut into 8 wedges
- 2 red eating apples, cored and each cut into thin wedges
For the marinade:
- 100ml balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons runny honey
- 2 teaspoons freshly chopped thyme leaves or dried thyme
Method
1
In a shallow dish, mix together the vinegar, honey and herbs, and season to taste. Add the pork and turn to coat. Cover and set aside.
2
Meanwhile, heat the butter and oil in a large non-stick ovenproof frying pan. Add the onions and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the apples and cook for 2 minutes until the onions and apples are starting to caramelise. Remove from the pan.
3
Drain the pork from the marinade and reserve the marinade. Cook the pork for 4–5 minutes over a medium heat, turn the steaks, add the onions, apples and reserved marinade. Continue to cook for a further 4–5 minutes or until the juices run clear.
4
Divide the pork between four serving plates, and serve with the sauce, onions, apples and seasonal vegetables.
