Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry a juicy proper pork steak in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the dish. You can use steak meat either on the bone or without. I used boneless pork loin that was already sliced. In the store, the desired meat can be sold under the names “pork steak”, “loin”. IMPORTANT!!! The meat should not be frozen, otherwise it will turn out to be “rubbery” in structure.

Step 2

Step 2
It is more convenient to use already ground mustard. But if you have mustard beans, like I do, then you need to either grind it in a mill, or put it in a bag and crush it with a rolling pin.

Step 3

Step 3
In a bowl, combine ground paprika, mustard, ground black pepper and salt. Mix the spices. In addition to these spices, you can also use different herbs, for example, Provençal.

Step 4

Step 4
Wash the loin and dry it with paper towels. The thickness of the steak can also vary from thin slices of about 1 cm to 5 cm. Choose what you like best, just the frying time of such a steak may vary depending on the desired degree of frying, as well as the thickness of the meat pieces. The fattier piece of meat you choose, the tastier and more tender the steak will be. I don’t like very fatty meat in any form, so I chose lean loin

Step 5

Step 5
Rub the pork loins with the spice mixture and leave to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature. If possible, leave the meat in the refrigerator overnight, covered with cling film.

Step 6

Step 6
Using a brush, brush the meat with vegetable oil.

Step 7

Step 7
Heat the pan over high heat. There is no need to lubricate it with anything, since the meat is already greased with vegetable oil. If you have a grill pan, it is better to cook on it — you will also get a beautiful pattern on the meat. Place the pork loins and fry on one side for 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the desired degree of doneness. I fried the meat for 4 minutes on each side and it was completely cooked inside, since the thickness of my loin did not exceed 1 cm.

Step 8

Step 8
Focus on your preferences, the strength of the fire and the thickness of the pan. Then turn the meat over to the other side and fry for 2 to 5 minutes. Transfer the finished loins to a plate and let rest for 2-3 minutes, covering with foil. Then serve the steaks hot. The meat turns out juicy and flavorful, despite the small amount of fat in the loin itself. Bon appetit!
