Did you know that pork loin has been a staple in various cuisines for centuries? In medieval times, pork was often considered a luxurious meat, reserved for feasts and celebrations. Over time, the loin became prized for its lean and tender qualities, making it a popular choice in many households around the world today.
Serving Suggestions
These pork loin steaks pair wonderfully with a side of buttery mashed potatoes or a light green salad. To add an extra layer of flavour, consider a drizzle of balsamic reduction over the roasted carrots or a sprinkle of fresh thyme on the pork before serving.
Storing Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The pork and carrots will keep well for up to three days. If you need to store them for a longer period, place them in freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to three months.
Reheating Instructions
To reheat the pork loin steaks, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the steaks in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil, and heat for about 15-20 minutes or until thoroughly warmed.
