Simple Pork Steak

I just love aroma and taste of Pork Steak. The smell of calamansi, onions and soy sauce perfectly creates that distinctive savory-sweet taste we all just adore.


And I love having lots of onions to go with my pork steakthat sometimes it becomes onion steak with pork!

So, let's waste no time in cooking my, and most probably yours too, favorite Pork Steak.



Ingredients

  • 3/4 kilo pork kasim, whole for this recipe, adjust size accordingly
  • 1/4 cup Calamansi juice, adjustable
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce, adjustable
  • 2 large onions (or more) , sliced
  • Sugar, optional
  • Cooking oil for pan frying
  • Salt and pepper to taste, adjust



How to cook Pork Steak

  1. Marinate Pork in soy sauce, calamansi, salt and pepper for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Remove pork from marinade and fry/sear to have a nice crisp outer layer
  3. When done, remove the meat and fry onions for about a minute. Add the marinade and bring to a boil. You may opt to use and/or add fresh soy sauce and calamansi juice.
  4. Place pork and simmer in low heat and make flavor adjustments using little salt, pepper and sugar. You may also add fresh white onions to contrast the fried ones.
  5. When pork is tender enough and the sauce is seasoned to your liking, remove from heat. You may also add a tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved 1 cup water for a thicker sauce.
  6. Serve with hot rice.

The measurements in this recipe are just guides in making a simple pork steak. You may adjust according to personal taste.

As this recipe makes use of a whole pork slice, you may also use pork chops or any pork cut you want. You can also add fried potatoes as garnish to create a more visually appealing dish presentation.

This recipe is also applicable to most other meats like beef or even chicken. I've also tried a tamed version of this using fried eggplant. As always, just taste what you are cooking until you get the flavor you love.

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube...

Native Bibingka

There are two types of bingka I've grown up with. First is the flat and "coconutty" ( with lots of buko strips) bingka made famous by the bingkahans in the plazas of Iloilo City especially in Molo and Jaro plus Plaza Libertad. But the most famous is the one in Mohon, Arevalo which gave birth to the popular bingka sa Mohon. Flat bingka from Mohon And second is the one closer to home, in my hometown which before only appears during Semana Santa but now almost year round. This is what we refer to a puto-bingka as it looks and taste like toasted puto. Here's a sample recipe of this Puto-Bingka

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth.
