Ingredients
Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩🍳 method for this recipe
- 1 pork fillet cut into 4 steaks or 4 pork escallops, flattened as shown here (don't cut them into strips though)
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 2 of your favourite chillies, rehydrated if dried and deseeded (to taste)
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Juce of 1 lemon
- Dash of olive oil for the marinade
- Olive oil for fryng (It's not authentic, but I feel so much healthier when frying with olive oil!)
- 1 large egg, beaten
Seasoned flour
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 75 g (3 oz ) masa harina or yellow cornmeal
- 75 g (3 oz ) plain flour
- 2 tablespoons of Taco mix
Method
- Mix together, the vinegar, garlic, chillies, salt and pepper, lemon juice and a splash of olive oil and mix to a thin marinade.
- Coat the pork steaks with the marinade, refrigerate and allow to infuse for at least 2 hours.
- Add the two flours, the taco mix to a shallow dish and mix well to combine
- # You can omit the taco mix but it would be a shame as it gives the coating a homemade 'Kentucky-fried' flavour.
- Dip both sides of the steaks into the seasoned flour
- Knock off any excess flour and dip into the beaten egg, then back into the seasoned flour.
- Again, knock off any excess flour.
- Fry in a little olive oil until the pork is properly cooked and golden brown on both sides.
- Pat any excess oil off on a kitchen towel.
Serving suggestions
Serve with yellow rice and tomato salsa.
Chef's note
If you can't get Masa harina then use yellow cornmeal instead.
