Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut potato into bite-sized chunks, then place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Toss to coat, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• While the potato is roasting, finely chop garlic. • Thinly slice pear. • Thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and 1/2 the vinegar.
• In a large frying pan, heat olive oil (1/2 tbs for 2 people / 1 tbs for 4 people) over medium-high heat. Cook garlic and ginger paste, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to the soy sauce mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the ginger paste starts to spatter!
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook pork until cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (depending on thickness). • Remove pan from heat, add the honey and turn to coat. Transfer to a plate, add the ginger-soy sauce, turn to coat and cover with foil to rest for 5 minutes. • While the pork is resting, return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Combine the remaining vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil in a second medium bowl, then season with salt and pepper. • Add mixed salad leaves, pear and cucumber and toss to combine. Sprinkle with diced bacon. • In a large bowl, combine roasted potatoes and mixed sesame seeds.
• Slice honey-soy ginger pork steaks. • Divide pork, potatoes and pear salad between bowls. • Pour any resting juices over pork. Serve with mayonnaise. Enjoy!
