Method

  1. Dust the pork steaks with the Chinese five-spice powder. Heat half the oil in a frying pan and fry the pork for about 3 mins on each side until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Add the remaining oil to the frying pan, reduce the heat slightly, then fry the onion wedges for 2 mins. Add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 3 mins.
  3. Add the redcurrant jelly to the pan, followed by the vinegar and then the stock. Bring to the boil and simmer rapidly, uncovered, for 8-10 mins until the sauce is slightly syrupy and the apples are tender. Gently reheat the pork in the sauce, turning to glaze each side.
Try

Sticky pineapple pork

Fry the spice-dusted pork as above, then after you've added the onions, replace the apples with 140g pineapple chunks. Stir in the vinegar with 2 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, then return the pork to the pan to re-heat and glaze.

    Very lovely! Added some peppers and less apples and used more stock to make more of a sauce. Also used Balsamic vinegar. Kids were not too keen on the flavour of the chinese five spice but ate some of it. Served it with beans and mash.

    A lovely dish although the apple took quite a long time to cook. Would definitely recommend though :)

    Really wanted to use pork steaks up but had to improvise with ingredients I didnt have. Here's what I replaced and it worked a treat! Replaced Redcurrant jelly with homemade cranberry sauce left over from Christmas. Replaced apples with dried apricots and I had no red wine vinegar so added a splash of white wine vinegar and a splash of red wine. I served it with roasted potatoes and carrots. It was fruity but not overpowering and I dont usually like recipes with meat and fruit in. Will certainly make again...my way!

    A nice tasting recipe but would leave the apples out if I did it again, they went a funny texture. Served with spicy cous cous for speed & was lovely!

    AMAZING! This is one of the best dishes I've ever cooked from the website. The pork with the 5 spice is gorgeous alongside the syrupy sauce and tender apples. The red onion goes so well with it too. I served this with mashed potato and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all!
