Ingredients

  • 4 pork leg steaks (600gm)
  • For dusting: Plain flour, seasoned to taste

  • 140 gm breadcrumbs, made from day-old bread (2 cups)
  • 1 lime rind, finely grated
  • 20 gm butter
  • For shallow frying: olive oil
  • To serve: butter or baby cos lettuce and avocado salad
Pineapple, lime and chilli mojo
  • 2 tbsp lime juice

  • ½ tsp caster sugar

Main
  • 1

  • 2
    Working one at a time, place pork steaks in a plastic bag and, using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound until meat is about 5mm thick. Dust pork steaks in seasoned flour, shaking off excess, then dip in beaten egg mixture, then in combined breadcrumbs and lime rind, pressing firmly to coat. Heat butter and just enough olive oil to cover the base of a heavy-based frying pan until foaming and cook crumbed pork, in batches if necessary, over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden and just cooked through, then drain on absorbent paper.
  • 3
    Serve pork immediately, topped with pineapple, lime and chilli mojo and a butter lettuce and avocado salad to the side.
