Do you like pork chops? Since I discovered cubed pork steaks several monts ago I haven’t had a pork chop. I think most people are familiar with “cubed steak” made of beef. When the butcher is making various cuts of meat there are lean trimmings left over from cutting steaks and other pieces of meat. He uses a special machines to bind these separate pieces of meat together into one. This is cubed steak.
I didn’t realize until recently that butchers did the same thing with pork. Dollar for dollar you get a LOT more cubed pork steak than you do pork chops. And I can guarantee you that the cubed steaks are as tender if not moreso than the porkchops you’re used to.
I don’t get fancy with the preparation of mine. I just put a little flour in a bowl and then add in a bit of salt and pepper. I lightly coat each side of each piece of steak. I’m not trying to make a thick crust on them so I don’t use an eggwash or anything before coating them. I let them rest for about 10 minutes while the oil in my deep fryer is heating up. In a pan on the stove they take several minutes per side to fry but they get done in my deep fryer in about 3 minutes.
