Ingredients
Method
- Pat 4 pork shoulder steaks (about 6 oz each) dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the pork steaks and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown with an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Remove pork to a clean plate and rest at least 3 minutes. Work in batches when necessary; thin shoulder steaks remain firmer than long-braised shoulder.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 1 more tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add 3 medium zucchini (courgettes), sliced on the bias into ½-inch thick pieces.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and tender-crisp.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary to the zucchini. Cook for 30 seconds.
- Deglaze the pan with ¼ cup of white wine or chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits.
- Let the liquid reduce by half, creating a light pan sauce.
- Season the zucchini with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the pork steaks topped with the rosemary zucchini and drizzled with the pan sauce.
- Garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired.
