Pork steaks with orange and fennel |  |
1 Melt the butter in a frying pan and quickly fry the pork steaks on both sides golden brown.
2 Take the pork steaks from the pan and fry the onions and garlic in the gravy. Add the orange juice. Add the stock, orange peel, aniseed and herbs and place the pork steaks into the liquid in the pan.
3 Simmer the steaks on low heat for 30 minutes until they are ready. In the last 15 minutes, add the fennel to the meat and leave it to cook with it.
4 Take the meat from the pan and keep it warm under aluminium foil. Place the pan with the sauce and fennel on high heat and reduce the sauce to half of its volume. Take away the herb twigs and the orange peel.
5 Dissolve the cornflower in the water and bind the sauce with it.
Makes a delicious combination with tagliatelle or creamy mashed potatoes.
