Mid-Week Dinner: Pork Steaks, Baked Potato & Peas

Thursday nights are and will always be Boys Nights! But here's the thang: I still have to feed my family before I can go anywhere...
I arrive home from the office and immediately pop on my apron and crack a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. Ready to cook! Out with the griddle pan, on with the gas. This needs to be a quick dinner - I need to leave. The guys are waiting...

Ingredients:
3x Pork Steaks
Spice (Salt, Paprika, Steak & Chops)
Can of Petit Pois Peas
Knob of Butter
1T Brown Sugar
3x Medium Potatoes
Knorr Garlic Sauce
Beetroot Salad

I must quickly tell you about Knorr's range of instant sauces... these things are wonderful! I particularly like the fact that they have launched a recipe website where all the recipes use Knorr products! Check out http://www.whatsfordinner.co.za. It is simply marvelous!

Method:

The Potatoes
1. Bring the kettle to the boil.
2. Prick the potatoes with a fork and place in a microwave dish.
3. Cover with boiling water and place in the microwave (Yes, I use a microwave!)
4. Cook on High for about 18 to 20 minutes, checking potatoes nearer the end of the cooking time. If fork goes in easily, it is cooked.
5. Drain and set aside.


The Steaks
1. Heat a griddle pan until smoking hot.
2. Season the steaks.
3. Fry the steaks.

The Peas
1. Empty contents of tin into a small saucepan.
2. Apply heat and bring to a boil.
3. Remove from heat and drain.
4. Add a knob of butter and tablespoon of brown sugar.
5. Put back on heat and dissolve butter & sugar, stirring softly (to not break the peas)

The Sauce
1. Empty contents of packet into a measuring jug.
2. Add 250ml boiling water, stir like crazy.

Plate and Serve, with side order of beetroot salad! ... and then run away to boys night...
