Method

  • step 1

    Dust the pork steaks with the Chinese five-spice powder. Heat half the oil in a frying pan and fry the pork for about 3 mins on each side until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.

  • step 2

    Add the remaining oil to the frying pan, reduce the heat slightly, then fry the onion wedges for 2 mins. Add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 3 mins.

  • step 3

    Add the redcurrant jelly to the pan, followed by the vinegar and then the stock. Bring to the boil and simmer rapidly, uncovered, for 8-10 mins until the sauce is slightly syrupy and the apples are tender. Gently reheat the pork in the sauce, turning to glaze each side.

Fry the spice-dusted pork as above, then after you’ve added the onions, replace the apples with 140g pineapple chunks. Stir in the vinegar with 2 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, then return the pork to the pan to re-heat and glaze.

Hello, we haven't tested this recipe with cooking apples. Cooking apples will break down when cooked rather than keeping their shape as wedges. It will still taste good though. Cooking apples are sharper so you might need to add a pinch of sugar to the sauce to balance the acidity. Thanks for your…

We really enjoyed this. For four people, I used two large red apples cut into 16 slices which was plenty. Didn't have Chinese Five Spice so used a BBQ rub which worked fine, and used a dessert spoonful of quince jelly in place of redcurrant which was all I had. Doubled the chicken stock to make…
