Pork Steaks And Baked Apples Recipes

PORK STEAKS AND BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine a large pinch of salt with a few grindings of pepper, the cayenne and garlic, and sprinkle apples with this mixture. Put apples in a baking dish, pour white wine around them, and bake until apples are shriveled but moist, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil over medium heat in a skillet large enough to hold pork. Dust pork lightly with flour and sear it on both sides for a total of just a minute or so; it need not become brown. Add red wine and adjust heat so mixture boils energetically. Cook pork, turning occasionally, until it gains a beautiful deep color, is cooked through and wine reduces to a syrup; about 10 minutes. Season meat with salt and pepper.
• Serve pork with red wine sauce spooned over it, next to apples, with a little of the white wine they cooked in.

BAKED PORK CHOPS AND APPLES

Steps:

• Peel, core, and slice the apples.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Melt the butter in a skillet.
• Brown the pork chops on both sides in the butter.
• Grease (or spray) a large baking dish.
• Put the apple slices in the bottom of the dish.
• Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar over the apples.
• Place the pork chops on top of the apples.
• Cover with foil and bake for 1 and 1/2 hours.

PORK TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH WILTED CABBAGE AND APPLES

Steps:

• Slice the pork tenderloin at a long angle into 4 "steaks" and sprinkle with the thyme and a total of 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, but not smoking. Add the steaks to the skillet and cook, turning once, until well browned and just a bit pink in the center, about 7 minutes per side. Turn the heat down to medium if the skillet starts to get too dark. Put each steak on a plate to rest.
• While the steaks cook, core and slice the apple and thinly slice the cabbage. Stir together the broth, vinegar and sugar in a small bowl.
• When the pork has finished cooking, add the cabbage, apples, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the same skillet. Cook, tossing, until slightly wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth mixture and continue to cook until the cabbage is tender and the liquid has reduced slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley leaves. Season with additional salt and pepper.
• Divide the cabbage and apples and any juices in the skillet among the plates with the steaks. Serve with a roll.
