A lot of people think Pork can be dry but this recipe ensures that isn't the case. Pork loin steaks are leaner than center cut chops but they still contain some fat which helps with the flavours during cooking but you can trim this off once cooked. The creamy sauce, caramelised onions and mushrooms add a depth of flavour thats delicious. I'm sure this recipe will soon become a family favourite. You can tailor it to suit you and your families tastes- I added 1/2 a pack of stir fry veg which I found in the fridge but thats optional and you can add any veg that you prefer or serve it on the side. You can also swap the cream cheese for creme fraîche or cream if you prefer.... It really is versatile. Why not give this a try and let us know how you got on in the comments below.
