Method

  1. Heat grill to high. Mix the peanut butter and sweet chilli sauce together, then season with pepper (the peanut butter is salty enough). Arrange the pork on a baking tray, brush the tops with half the nutty mixture, then grill for 3 mins. Carefully turn the pork steaks over, brush with the remaining mixture, then grill for 3-4 mins more until just cooked through.
  2. Meanwhile, make the salad by mixing the lime juice, fish sauce and sugar in a bowl. Stir in the apple slices so they are well coated in the dressing, then toss with the coriander and mint. Serve the crunchy apple salad alongside the pork steaks, with jasmine rice on the side.

    Tasty way to cook pork, although I found that the satay mix fell off when you turned the pork over no matter how careful you were! Kids enjoyed it, and will probably make again. Good for a midweek meal.

    I found the same - the pork was tasty but the topping cooked quicker than the pork and fell off when I turned it over so had to scrape it off the bottom of the grill pan.

    I tried this recipe and adapted it,.. try slitting the chicken breast or pork horizontally and stuff the mix in the middle,.. even my fickle children loved it!

    Delicious flavours combined for a wonderful meal! Did find that the topping stuck to the grill tray though.

    Instead of grilling and losing the mixture, I bakes the pork in the oven for 20-25 mins with the mixture on the top. Perfect.

    The pork was very tasty: I had no problems getting the coating to stay on the chop, as other people have, but I did find that it had burnt a little in places by the time the meat was cooked through. As the weather was too cold for salad I served the pork with vegetables and noodles instead, and I'll come back and try the apple salad another day.

    i left out the fish sauce due to my husband hating fish and it tasted great - fantastic recipe and have used the apple salad with other dishes as it makes a great side dish and very refreshing!

    I made this and had the same problem with the topping - it cooked really fast and fell off when the pork was still cookin then had to scrape off the grill tray - not very kitchen goddess!!. This has sort of put me off making this again but will possibly try the advise of stuffing the topping into the meat or baking it in the oven.

    love this recipe.Have cooked it a few times.I cooked the pork under a low grill and very gently turned so as not to lose the topping.It does go quite dark sometimes but still tastes fine.Apple salad a huge hit.Great with jasmine rice.

    My 11 year old daughter cooked this last night, it was lovely, the coating did stick to the pan but we just put it back on at the end, we had no fish sauce so used a little sherry instead for the apples.

    Iam afraid I wont be making this one again. I found the same problem with the topping, I oven baked it but the topping turned all crispy and found the dish rather dry. If I was to do it again I'd probably grill one side of the pork and then cook the other side with the topping. To try and avoid drying the dish out. Iam wondering if I did something wrong with the Apple salad as iam afraid i took one bite and couldn't eat any more. But maybe thats just my personal taste.

    I followed the advice and slit the pork and put the satay mix in the middle. Very quick and easy mid week meal. Lovely and refreshing with the apple salad (although i was very sparing with the fish sauce).

    Just OK - better than plain grilled chops, but no great taste sensation as the peanut butter overpowered the chilli sauce. Had courgette and mushroom to use up, so adapted and put the dressing on them rather than doing the salad, which worked well, and may suit people who find thai fish sauce a bit difficult to love - it mellows a bit when served warm. My steaks were too thin to stuff, so grilled first then just put topping on for last two minutes.

    really yummy! Although used smooth peanut butter, with the same amount chilli sauce added a dash of fish sauce and tamari sauce [gluten free soy sauce] with some black pepper. this created a thick sticky marinade, which i smothered the chops in, cooked both sides quickly under a hot grill. Perfect! Moist and nommy! I also used glass noodles and a hot salad of parsnip, carrot, red onion and yellow pepper, fried with sesame oil, adding balsamic vinegar and piri piri spice for a bit of lip tingling goodness :)

    This was very tasty but i did find that the topping burnt before the meat was cooked. I'll try a lower heat for longer next time. Nice refreshing salad.
