Serves: 4
Cooking Skill: Not Too Tricky
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C, 180°C fan, gas mark 6. Line a large baking sheet with foil or baking parchment.
Step 2
In a shallow dish mix the breadcrumbs, curry powder and oil together. Season the steaks all over.
Step 3
Dip each steak into the beaten egg, then the breadcrumbs and transfer to the baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
Step 5
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and cook the onion, garlic and ginger for 2 minutes, or until soft.
Step 6
Add the carrots and spices and cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously. Slowly add the stock, bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring gently for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season, if required.
Step 7
Blitz the sauce with a stick blender until smooth.
Step 8
Remove the pork from the oven and set aside for 1-2 minutes. Cut the pork into strips and serve with the sauce drizzled over rice and seasonal vegetables, lime wedges and fresh coriander.
Alternatively, swap the home-made katsu sauce for a sachet of prepared katsu curry sauce mix and use according to the packet instructions.
The sauce can be made separately and frozen for up to three months. Allow to fully defrost and reheat until piping hot before serving.
