Ingredients

10 total
  • 1 bunch purple kale, stems removed, leaves finely shredded
  • 2 eating apples, cut into matchsticks
  • 2 plums, thinly sliced
  • 1 beetroot, cut into matchsticks
  • 2 tbsp cold-pressed sunflower oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (check for gluten free)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp runny honey
  • 4 pork loin steaks
  • 3 tbsp sunflower seeds, toasted

Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    For the slaw, put the kale in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Massage gently for 1-2 mins to soften. Add the apples, plums and beetroot.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk together the cold-pressed sunflower oil, vinegar, lemon juice, honey and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust as needed. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to coat. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Pat the pork steaks dry with kitchen towel; season generously.

  4. Step 4

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the steaks for 3-4 mins on each side, until just cooked through. Remove to a plate; leave to rest for 3 mins.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter the sunflower seeds over the slaw; serve with the pork. Chill leftover slaw in an airtight container for 2 days; refresh with lemon juice.
