Last night I had taken some pork steaks out of the freezer in an attempt to use up the vast quantities of frozen meat which reside there. As my day at work wore on I couldn't really think what to do with the pork steak...partly because I didn't really know what I was looking for and partly because I couldn't think what I had in my cupboards, I really struggled to find a good recipe for pork on the internet (I'm absolutely sure they exist though).
So I decided to have a go at putting some of my favourite flavours in the same bowl and seeing what I could produce!!
The results were surprisingly delicious (and really, really simple)... I give you Chinese-style sticky pork with paprika and coconut rice.
So for the recipe:

The results were surprisingly delicious (and really, really simple)... I give you Chinese-style sticky pork with paprika and coconut rice.
So for the recipe:
2 pork steaks; 2 tablespoons honey; 1 'glug' (technical term!) soy sauce; 1 tablespoon sesame oil; 1 teaspoon chilli flakes; 2 chopped spring onions; 2 teaspoons paprika.
1 red onion; large handful baby corn; 2 chopped spring onions; 1 tablespoon honey; half a tin chopped tomatoes; 1 handful coriander;
Brown rice; sesame oil; 2 tablespoons dessicated coconut; 1 tablespoon paprika
Mix all of the ingredients together to form a sticky paste, add a little more soy sauce or sesame oil to form a marinade and cover the pork steaks in it and leave for a while (overnight would be great but I only had half an hour!) Meanwhile cook your rice, drain and leave to the side.
Once your steaks have marinaded heat up your frying/gridle pan, brown the onion and, whilst the pan is very hot, place your steaks in the pan. Cook for around 5 minutes on one side, pour the rest of the marinade in and turn the steaks over to cook through. Place your steaks on a chopping board, cut into slices and return to the pan with the baby corn, spring onions, honey, coriander and chopped tomatoes. Cook until most of the liquid has been cooked off and the honey is turning everything sticky and delicious.
In the same pan (once the content has been moved into a bowl) heat some more sesame oil. Add the rice, paprika and coconut and continue to stir this until everything has been mixed together, the coconut is starting to smell delicious and the rice is cooked through (if you're finding the rice is starting to dry a little you can add some coconut milk or a bit more oil to keep it moving).

Serve with some extra coriander and a few more chopped spring onions.
