    There is plenty of flavour from the bean mash to leave the pork just grilled and lightly seasoned. Simple, tasty recipe.

    I really didn't enjoy this at all! There was little flavour to the pork steak; the amount of liquid in the mash was too great; mashing the beans was very difficult; the beans didn't cook in the time given. Overall not very good at all!
