Pork loin steaks with mustard and butter sauce

Tonight's dinner was quick and easy, and came out well enough that I thought it was worth sharing. As usual, quantities and cooking times are after-the-fact estimates. Also, please be sure to cook your pork thoroughly and please taste the sauce throughout so you can adjust to your preferences. If anyone is interested, I served this with a small side of tomato with balsamic and fresh parsley (pictured above) and roast cauliflower (not in the picture).

Ingredient

Food ration :

2 people

pork loin steaks (about 200g each)

1/2 cup

chicken stock

small shallots, thinly sliced

1 tbs

or so coarse mustard

3-4 tbs

unsalted butter

2 sprigs

fresh thyme

1 tsp

sugar (optional)

1 tbs

olive oil

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Pat pork steaks dry, pound them thin, season with salt and pepper, and let sit for 10 minutes.

* Step 2

In a large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

* Step 3

Cook steaks until they have a nice sear and are done but still juicy, about 4 minutes or so on one side, then flip and cook for 2 1/2 or so on the other.

* Step 4

Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm. Wipe off excess grease, turn heat down to medium-low, then add 1/2 the butter, shallots, and thyme to the pan.

* Step 5

When the shallots are soft and brown, add the stock, mustard, and rest of the butter.

* Step 6

Lower heat and simmer until sauce reduces. Be sure to taste and adjust: add sugar and/or water if too salty or too sour. Can also add more butter or some cream if you want it thicker.
