Method

  1. Trim the fat from the steaks, then place, one at a time, between 2 pieces of baking parchment and bash with a rolling pin or meat mallet until about 5mm thick. Set aside.
  2. Put the bread, lemon zest, Parmesan, pine nuts and rosemary leaves in the bowl of a food processor and blitz to a fine crumb. Transfer to a shallow bowl.
  3. Spread the flour onto a plate and put the egg in a shallow bowl. Season the pork, then dust in flour. Dip each steak into the egg, then press into the crumbs, coating evenly. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the pork for 2-3 mins each side until golden and crunchy. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

    My family really enjoyed this dish, I didn't have any pine nuts so next time i will include them, the lemon gave it a lovely fresh flavour. I will certainly be making this again !

    Loved this recipe. The only change I made was to use gluten free bread for the crumbs. But apart from that, followed the recipe to the letter and will do so again and again...

    Made these yesterday. I used brown bread instead of white as we prefer it and as I didn't have pine nuts I just used small mixed nuts but it still tasted okay. Will try pine nuts another time.We loved them.

    Enjoyed this dish immensely. I substituted brown for white too as a preference and served it with celeriac mash and roasted tomatoes, delicious. Does need seasoning in the breadcrumbs rather thsn on the meat, to really bring it alive in the mouth. Would happily serve it again

    I made this with chicken instead of pork for a dinner party and served it with sweet potato wedges and salad. Went down very well!

    Awesome, Tried this with chicken a few weeks ago, the family loved it! Doing it again today with my own spin - having marinated the chicken for a few hours in lemon juice salt pepper, minced onion and garlic - then onto the recipe as it stands.

    Really nice. Did it with chicken and it took a bit longer. Next time I'll cut the chicken in half before making them thinner.

    Here here Summers! Well good flavours, didn't feel healthy for it afterwards, just fancied something different and this was. Very good all the same, i'm tempted by using chicken next time.
