Receta Pork ‘Steak’ with Sautéed Mushrooms, the update
I may have mentioned once or twice that getting a good steak is not easy here.
We try…
We’ll buy the same cut from the same butcher. The first time will be wonderful; the second…. no.
Part of the problem is us, we acknowledge.
We want a thick steak.
The French (and other Europeans) don’t. They prefer steaks to be no more than 1/2″, if that.
Obviously they know something we refuse to learn.
I may have also mentioned once or twice that the pork is wonderful…. Especially when I buy a whole pork loin and slice my own (thick) chops.
If one can have a ‘Chicken-Fried Steak’ why not a ‘Pork’ steak?
I usually made these mushrooms to go with steak in the U.S..
There you have it:

Mon mari has a nice little set-up at the moment.
He’s set-up a make-shift table in the TV room – which also has the Christmas tree and big fireplace.
So, as he is working on the doors for the cabinets in the pantry, he can also celebrate the season with a nice roaring fire and the Christmas lights on.
Not to mention watching whatever crap fascinating shows are on daytime TV.
Progress is being made…..
Yes, they’re high. I can barely reach the bottom shelf but having them go all the way to the ceiling will help keep down the cobwebs.
And mon mari has step ladders….
