Pork Neck Steak

2 servings

20 minutes

Pork neck steak is a true embodiment of simple yet exquisite flavor. In Russian cuisine, pork is traditionally valued for its juiciness and rich taste, and a skillet-cooked neck steak is a tender, aromatic dish with a golden crust. The meat, rested at room temperature beforehand, is seared in a mixture of olive and butter oils, absorbing their softness and richness. A sprig of rosemary adds piquant herbal notes while salt, black pepper, and sumac harmoniously reveal the depth of flavor. The steak turns out juicy with a light spicy aftertaste and pairs perfectly with simple sides or fresh vegetables. It should be served hot with a glass of red wine or a refreshing lemon drink.
