ROSEMARY & GARLIC COATED PORK CUBE STEAKS



Rosemary & Garlic Coated Pork Cube Steaks image

Rosemary and garlic just seem to go with pork, just as coating and pan frying seem to go with cube steaks. So it only seemed natural they should all come together in one dish.

GRILLED GARLICKY FIVE-SPICE PORK STEAKS



Grilled Garlicky Five-Spice Pork Steaks image

The menu at Vietnamese restaurants in the United States often includes an inexpensive, homey rice plate with grilled pork chops flavored with Chinese five-spice powder, garlic, and onion. Unfortunately, I have often found the dish disappointing, with the rib chops dry and thin. Even with a knife and fork, the meat-typically broiled, rather than the advertised grilled-is hard to cut. After a number of dissatisfying rice plates, I decided to make the pork at home. To avoid dry meat, I opted for pork shoulder steaks. The slightly fatty, flavorful steaks turned out to be perfect for absorbing the bold marinade and remained moist after grilling. Sliced up before serving, the meat is easily managed with chopsticks, too, and I include a dipping sauce for extra flavor. Serve the pork with rice and a salad or a stir-fried or sautéed vegetable for a light meal. Add a soup such as Opo Squash Soup (page 60) and you have a traditional Vietnamese menu. Use any left overs for baguette sandwiches (page 34) or Mixed Rice (page 245).

Yield serves 4 to 6 with 2 or 3 other dishes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 pounds bone-in or boneless pork shoulder (blade) steaks, each about 1/2 inch thick
5 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 large shallot, minced (about 1/3 cup)
1 1/4 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder
2 tablespoons canola or other neutral oil
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup Simple Dipping Sauce (page 309)

Steps:

  • If the pork steaks are large, cut them into pieces about the size of your hand. To make the marinade, in a baking dish or shallow bowl large enough to accommodate the steaks, combine the garlic, shallot, five-spice powder, oil, fish sauce, salt, sugar, and pepper and mix well. Add the steaks and use your fingers to coat all the surfaces well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours for the best flavor.
  • Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Prepare a medium charcoal fire (you can hold your hand over the rack for only 4 to 5 seconds) or preheat a gas grill to medium.
  • Grill the steaks, turning once, for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until browned and a little charred on the edges.
  • Transfer the steaks to a plate, cover with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Provide each diner with an individual dish for the dipping sauce.

SARASOTA'S TENDER GARLIC CUBE STEAKS



Sarasota's Tender Garlic Cube Steaks image

Classic remake. These are tender, savory and very easy to make. Serve the classics with this, mashed or baked spuds, carrots or baby peas, but I love to serve grilled portabello mushrooms as well. Cube steaks at times get a "bad rap," because they are cooked quick and then they are tough. Well they are not meant to be cooked quick, they need a little simmer time to get that fork tender savory flavor. Also, I can't say that these are low fat, but they are definitely a lighter version. There is NO soup or no packaged sauces in this recipe.

Time 50m

Yield 4 1/4 lb steaks, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cube steaks, approximately 1 lb
2 large onions, cut in half and thin sliced
1 cup saltine crackers, crushed fine (1 cup after being crushed)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/4 cups beef broth (I like low salt)
2 extra large eggs, you will need about 1/2 cup (2-3 eggs, beaten well)
2 1/4 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 pinch red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil, you may need a bit more (to saute the beef)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Crackers -- The first step is to crush the saltines. About 20-25 crackers will give you about 1 cup, but crush them fine. A fine crushed cracker will stay on the beef better than those not crushed well. I just use a baggie (ziploc) and my meat mallet or rolling pin. Use anything you have.
  • Steak -- Bring the steak to room temp and season well with salt and pepper and make sure to rub in the seasoning.
  • Breading Station -- Dip #1 - Wet -- In a small bowl or pie plate, beat the eggs well. Dip #2 - Dry -- In a small bowl or pie plate again, add the cracker crumbs, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  • Dip each cube steak into the egg mixture, then into the cracker crumbs coating well. Make sure to press the crackers crumbs into the steaks.
  • Pan Fry -- In a large saute pan, heat up the olive oil to medium high heat and add the steaks. Make sure you use a large enough pan so they are not crowded. Brown well on the first side until golden brown. Then flip, you may need to add a bit more oil if the pan is too dry - not much, just a touch. Add in the sliced onion and garlic and brown the second side until golden brown as well. Then reduce the heat to low. Add 1/4 cup of the beef broth and cover. Cook 30-40 minutes until tender. Stir once or twice during cooking.
  • Sauce -- Once the steaks are done, remove and cover with foil. Make sure to leave the onions in the pan. Mix the cornstarch with the remaining beef broth and pour into the pan along with the garlic and onions. Bring to a boil until thickened and then reduce the heat and just simmer 2-3 minutes. Add in the parsley and taste for any additional seasoning, salt and pepper.
  • Serve -- Pour the onion gravy over the individual steaks. ENJOY! Serve this with some mashed potatoes or parsnips, peas, carrots and I love a couple of grilled portabellos. Just a great classic dish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork steak: For this recipe, it's best to use a pork cube steak that is about 1 inch thick. This will ensure that the steak cooks evenly and doesn't become tough.
  • Tenderize the pork steak: Before cooking, pound the pork steak with a meat mallet or rolling pin to tenderize it. This will help the steak cook more evenly and make it more tender.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade in this recipe is packed with flavor from garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Be sure to let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • Cook the steak over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the steak and create a nice crust. Be sure to cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This steak is delicious served with mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad.

Conclusion:

This garlicky pork cube steak recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy pork. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the garlic-soy marinade gives it a wonderful flavor. Whether you're serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this recipe is sure to be a hit.
