Grilled Pork Steak With Garlic, Green Beans & Leeks

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 large leek

  washed well
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

  for cooking
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 3 medium pork steaks

  or pork chops, about 400 grams or 13 oz
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

  or coconut oil
• 4 cloves garlic

  roughly sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter

  heaped, or 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
• 150 g green beans

  ends chopped off, about 5-6 oz
• 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  freshly ground
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

• 1 Place a medium pot of water over high heat and bring to a boil (this is for the
  green beans).
• 2 Season the pork steaks with salt and pepper on both sides and set aside.
• 3 Slice the white and pale green parts of the leek into thin, circular slices. I
  like to add some of the green parts as well, for more colour. In a large frying
  pan or a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the leeks
  and sea salt and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring a few times until softened and
  lightly browned. Remove the leeks to a bowl.
• 4 Place the frying pan back over high heat and add another teaspoon of oil. Add
  the pork steaks and cook for 3.5 minutes each side over medium-high heat.
• 5 While the steaks are cooking, check the water in the pot. Once at boil, add the
  green beans and cook for 3 minutes, then strain through a sieve. Add olive oil,
  lemon zest and pepper to the empty pot and place over medium heat for 30 seconds
  to heat up. Return the beans to the pot with the lemon zest and olive oil, then
  drizzle with juice of half a lemon and season with a generous pinch of sea salt.
  Stir through well and set aside.
• 6 Remove the pork steaks to a platter. Add the garlic and butter to the frying pan
  and place over medium heat. Melt and stir for about a minute, until garlic
  starts to turn golden. Don’t overcook it as the garlic can burn quickly. Top the
  pork steaks with the cooked garlic and pour any butter jus over the meat. Serve
  the cooked leeks and green beans on the side.
