Slow Cooker Pork Shoulder Steaks With Mushrooms Potatoes And Gravy Food

INSTANT POT PORK SHOULDER STEAKS WITH MUSHROOMS, POTATOES AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Turn your Instant Pot to the saute "more" setting. While the pot is heating up trim your pork steaks of excess fat. Generously salt and pepper your pork steaks. When the pot reaches HOT on the display add in the oil and let it heat for a minute. Then arrange each of the pork steaks on the bottom of the pot so they are all in contact with the bottom of the pot (you may need to work in batches). Let the steaks brown for 5 minutes. Do not move the steaks or turn them over for the full 5 minutes. You'll be tempted to move them or mess around with them, but don't.
• While the meat is browning prepare your vegetables. Dice the onion, mince the garlic and peel the potatoes. Slice the potatoes into quarter inch rounds. Slice the mushrooms.
• When the 5 minutes is up remove the pork steaks and place them on a plate. I only browned one side of the steaks for sake of time but if you want you can brown both sides. Add the onion into the hot pot and saute for 3 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute for 1 more minute. Pour the chicken broth in and deglaze the pot.
• Stir in the mushrooms, mustard, lemon juice and tarragon. Nestle the pork steaks into the pot.
• Place the potatoes in a oven safe dish that will fit inside your Instant Pot. You can use a pyrex,* corningware* or cake pan*. Salt and pepper the potatoes and toss. Cover the dish with foil. Gently lower the dish into the Instant Pot on top of the pork.
• Cover the Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button (high pressure) to 6 minutes. After the time is up allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minute. Then release any remaining pressure by moving the valve to venting.
• Carefully remove the dish of potatoes and set aside. Pour the half and half into the sauce. Turn the Instant Pot to the "saute" more setting. Stir 2 Tbsp of cornstarch and 2 Tbsp of cold water together in a small bowl until smooth. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the pot and let the sauce thicken. You may need to make more slurry and add it in, depending on how thick you want your sauce.
• Once sauce is thickened salt and pepper to taste. Serve sauce, mushrooms and pork over the top of the potatoes.

SLOW COOKED PORK STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat your slow cooker by turning it on its low setting - leave the lid on.
• Cut your pork shoulder steaks into 2.5cm pieces and season generously with salt and pepper, finely chop your onions and crush your garlic, peel and deseed your apple. Set aside.
• Make your 500ml of Chicken stock and 500ml of Vegetable stock.
• In your slow cooker, put the shoulder steaks in first, followed by your chopped onions and garlic, finished by your apple. Pour in the Chicken Stock and Vegetable stock. Put the lid on and leave on a low setting for 8 hours. Go to work, go shopping or simply put your feet up at this point.
• Seperate the liquid from the solids in the slow cooker using a sieve or collinder ensuring you capture all of the liquid in a large sauce pan. Put the solids back in the slow cooker and leave the lid on with it on a low setting.
• Turn your gas hob on medium and bring the liquid to the boil, reduce this to a simmer. Meanwhile using a small amount of the liquid in a seperate bowl mix with 1tbsp on corn flour to make a paste, put this paste in the saucepan and stir. Reduce by half. If the sauce needs to thicken more to your liking make more paste. Add the Chilli Powder salt and pepper to taste.
• For your apple sauce, peel and deseed the apples and cut into quaters or eighths. Add these to a sauce pan with a cinnamon stick and cup of cold water and bring to the boil slowly. When boiling the apples should break down, add the brown sugar and continue to cook for 5-10minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and set the sauce aside.
• Put 300g of rice in a saucepan, cover with cold water until the water is 1cm above the line of the rice. Bring to the boil. Once boiled stir, add salt and pepper, reduce the heat to low and put a lid on. Leave for 10-15 minutes.
• Serve your lovely slow cooked pork on a bed of rice, drizzle over your reduced sauce to your liking and add a large dollop of home made apple sauce. Delicious.
