Pork Shoulder Steak with Honey-Mustard Pan Sauce

Adapted from Caincrest Farm

Ingredients

1 pork shoulder steak 1-1.5 pounds
2 tsp. honey
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar

 ½ tbsp butter
chives a few sprigs
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Put a stainless steel pan on over medium heat. While it’s warming, mix honey, mustard, and vinegar until combined.
  2. Pat shoulder steak dry with paper towels. Add butter to preheated pan. It should foam. As soon as it begins to brown – which should be quite quickly! – add the shoulder steak
  3. Cook the steak for 4 minutes, and then flip and cook for approximately 4 more minutes. When the steak reaches an internal temperature of 140° in the thickest part remove it from the pan to rest. (The temperature will continue to rise to at least 145°)
  4. Remove the pan from heat and add the honey-mustard combination. Use a spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan and to emulsify the melted butter into the sauce. The result should be a smooth, chestnut brown.
  5. Pour sauce over the steak, garnish with chives and black pepper.
