Method

  • step 1

    Mix together the sauce ingredients and put in a large container or reusable food bag, keeping 3 tbsp aside in a small bowl.

  • step 2

    Add the pork to the container or bag, toss well and leave to marinate for 2-3 hrs or overnight.

  • step 3

    To cook on a barbecue, pile the hot coals up on one side, leaving the other side free for indirect cooking. Sear the steaks on each side over the hot coals then move to the cooler side and keep cooking for 20 mins with a lid on, turning once. Baste occasionally with the reserved sauce then finish over the hot coals for a couple of minutes, brushing with the remaining glaze. Alternatively, heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put the pork steaks on a rack above a roasting tin and cook for 25 mins, basting with sauce halfway through. Turn, then cook for another 25 mins, basting halfway through. Brush with the remaining glaze, then cook for another 10 mins. Rest for 10 mins.

  • step 4

    Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan, then sizzle the ginger for 1 min. Add the greens and stir fry for a few minutes until tender. Stir in the sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Slice the pork and put on top of the greens, then scatter over the sliced chilli and serve with steamed rice on the side.
