Instructions

Roast the Veg
1
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil a large pot of salted water
  • Trim the broccolin and cut the carrot into battons.
  •  Drizzle both with oil, season with paprika, salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
  • When oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until the veg is soft and golden, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.

TIP: To save time you can boil the water in your kettle.

Cook the Sweet Potato
2
  • Meanwhile, chop the sweet potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
  • When boiling, add the sweet potatoes to the water and cook until fork tender, 15-20 mins.
Fry the Pork
3
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Season the pork with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Pork is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Once hot, fry the pork, fat-side down for 2-3 mins, until crispy. Then fry 4-5 mins on each side.
  • Once cooked, remove from pan, cover with foil and allow to rest.
Baste in Butter
4
  • When everything is almost ready, return the pan to medium-high heat with 2 tbsp butter (double for 4p) and a drizzle of oil.
  • Pick the sage leaves from their stalks (keeping them whole). Discard the stalks.
  • When the butter is melted, add the sage leaves to the pan and fry until crispy, 2-3 mins, shifting as they cook. 
  • Once crisp, add the pork back to the pan. 
  • Carefully use a spoon to baste the pork in the sage butter.
Make the Mash
5
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat.
  • Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk or water.
  • Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Finish and Serve
6
  • Plate up your succulent pork steaks.
  • Serve sweet potato mash and roasted aubergine alongside.
  • Drizzle any remaining sage butter over the pork.
