Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to fry a juicy proper pork steak in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the dish. Meat for steak can be used both on the bone and without. I used already sliced pork loin without bones. In the store, the right meat can be sold under the names "pork steak", "loin". important!!! Meat should not be frozen, otherwise it will turn out to be "rubbery" in structure.
Step 2:
It is more convenient to use already ground mustard. But if you have mustard in grains, like mine, then you need to either grind it in a mill, or put it in a bag and grind it with a rolling pin.
Step 3:
In a bowl, combine ground paprika, mustard, ground black pepper and salt. Stir in the spices. In addition to these spices, you can use different herbs, for example, Provencal.
Step 4:
Wash and dry the loin with paper towels. The thickness of the steak can also vary from thin slices of about 1 cm to 5 cm. Choose what you like best, it's just that the roasting time of such a steak can be different depending on the desired degree of roasting, as well as the thickness of the meat pieces. The fatter piece of meat you choose, the tastier and more tender the steak will turn out. I don't like very fatty meat in any form, so I chose a low-fat loin
Step 5:
Rub pork loins with a mixture of spices and leave to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. If possible, leave the meat in the refrigerator overnight, pre-covered with cling film.
Step 6:
Brush the meat with vegetable oil.
Step 7:
Heat the frying pan over high heat. There is no need to lubricate it with anything, since the meat is already lubricated with vegetable oil. If there is a grill pan, it is better to cook on it - you will also get a beautiful pattern on the meat. Lay out the pork loins and fry on one side for 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the desired degree of roasting. I fried the meat for 4 minutes on each side and it was completely fried inside, since the thickness of my loin did not exceed 1 cm .
Step 8:
Focus on your preferences, the strength of the fire and the thickness of the pan. Then turn the meat to the other side and fry for 2 to 5 minutes as well. Transfer the finished loins to a dish and let rest for 2-3 minutes, covered with foil. Then serve the steaks to the table hot. The meat turns out juicy and fragrant, despite the small amount of fat in the loin itself. Bon appetit!
The ability to properly fry steaks to the degree you need depends on many factors: the fat content of the meat, the thickness of the pan, the strength of the fire on the stove, the thickness of the steak itself, etc. Therefore, the necessary skills are developed gradually.And most likely you will have to "spoil" more than one kilogram of meat in order to find the optimal option that suits you.
I have repeatedly met the opinion that you can learn to cook a lot at home, but at the same time go to a restaurant for a good steak. Perhaps there is some truth in this statement.
I give a recipe for my own conditions: meat for steaks about 1-1.2 cm thick, cast iron frying pan, thick and heavy. Fire by strength 8 out of 9. The degree of roasting is complete.
I served steak with pie potatoes - a very tasty combination. Along with the beer, there is a feeling that you are in a real beer restaurant.
Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which is better not to use at all, read here .
Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can ruin even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .
If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
