Roasted pork neck with a bowl of creamy winter vegetables…… comfort food does not get any better than this.

Pork steaks with roasted tomatoes
Posted on February 5, 2014 by in pork

Pork steaks are definitely one of the most flavorful cuts of pork…… that’s my opinion any way. They are tender and have just a little fat in the meat so when grilled, roasted or fried, the pork steaks are juicy and never dry. Pork steaks are delicious when pan-fried and served with mashed potatoes, or […]
