How do I cook a pork steak?

[flobadob]

I got a pork steak today. I is about 10 inches long and 3 inches thick. I've never cooked pork before. How should I cook this?

*splutter!* ^^^^^^

For all you doubters out there, especially mrs.overall [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/dptpwn.jpg[/IMG] . By the way I don't think anyone else would eat it if I cooked it in cider, though it sounds nice to me. I agree with some of the comments, I've never had nice pork, it has always been dried out, blagh.

That's 3" wide........not thick!

[flobadob]

jack, do you think it will cook well using pernickitiness?

[boxtops]

That size is actually a small pig...

[pastafreak]

That's not a pork steak!
It's a fillet....the most tender cut.

[jackthehat]

There is a huge difference between a cut of meat that is 3" thick (which would take time to cook) and one which is 3" wide (which wouldn't)!

And it is a fillet *not* a steak.

It's not my fault that you are incapable of describing it correctly.

Well done Flobadob, not many guys would put a photo of their meat next to a tape measure on display
:o)

If you have a contact grill (George Forman type) it will cook in 2 or 3 mins max.

[EDDIE51]

Sorry didn't see how big it is , that is more like a small joint . Too thick to grill or fry unless you cut it into 2 slices , 1 1/2 in thick then grill it.

[flobadob]

The label on it calls it a steak guys.

By the photo you put on that is a Fillet of Pork. Beautiful and tender. cut into three inch thick steaks and grill or fry them. Serve with chips.veg andblack peppercorn sauce. Lovely.!

[lilacben]

Or put in the oven. dribble some olive oil on the top.salt and pepper and put cover or lid over the top.. Roast on 3 for a few hours..

[EDDIE51]

Ten inches long and 3 inchs thick ! are we are talking about a Pork steak or a a 'pork sword' ? there may be a few a few ladies on here would not mind having that ''In cider'' ;-) Sorry, couldn't resist it .

[flobadob]

So, you are saying is but it up and fry it like a steak, rather than cooking it whole?

[boxtops]

I thought you were having it for lunch today!

There are lots of recipes here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/pork_fillet

It's also called a tenderloin. Can't imagine why it was labelled a steak.

[boxtops]

I'll describe it as a tenderloin too. I'd do it in the Foreman too, now that I know it's 3 ins wide, not 3 ins thick.

Thanks pasta. boxy, we went out for dinner tonight, probably cook it tomorrow.
