Lean and flavoursome, pork loin steaks are a healthier option then fattier pork cuts. And, they're very versatile - just grill or cook in the oven.
These pork loin steaks come vac-packed, which keeps the meat fresher for longer and it keeps the packaging to a minimum. It also saves a bit of space, which is vital for those of us with small fridges and freezers!
This pork comes from Newington Farm in Gloucestershire, which is run by Richard Hazell, an organic farmer who recently acquired this farm with the specific purpose of supplying his customers with the next best thing to organic.
Richard says, “I acquired Newington Farm in response to recent economic pressure on the organic industry and the recession affecting consumer's food budgets.” Newington Farm is a traditional free range farm where he raises pigs using the same fundamental organic principles and adopts the highest animal health and welfare standards – the pigs are even provided with a 100% organic diet. Newington Farm is not certified as organic but instead provides you with the opportunity to buy truly superior free range pork at an affordable price.
Free-range pork (100%)
Pre-heat a grill, ribbed griddle pan, barbecue or heavy frying pan. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side depending on the thickness. This cut is also ideal for stir-fries - a perfect pair for shredded cabbage and other seasonal veg.
Pork should be kept at a very cool temperature, wrapped and kept away from other foods. Pork can be frozen, but should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking.
Upon opening, vac-packed pork can sometimes have a strong smell, but don't worry, remove the plastic and let the meat rest for 10 or 15 minutes and the odour will disappear!
