Pork Steaks With Cider Ginger Sauce

AmandaInOz's Note:

From Australian Better Homes and Gardens. Alcoholic or non-alcoholic cider is suitable for this recipe. If you use alcoholic cider, add it to the pan before thickening and boil rapidly to evaporate the alcohol. Mix the cornflour with 1 tablespoon water and stir into the cider.

This was good. It was easy to make. I had all of the ingredients on hand. I like ginger, so I added more. ( had mine with mashed potatoes. I will be making this again. Thanks for a good recipe Amanda. Made for the Feb "08 Bevy Tag Gane.

This recipe is an incredibly easy fix & a great variation for a pork cutlet (steak). The sauce is the star here ~~ light, but rich at the same time w/all the flavours well-balanced. I strained the sauce & pressed the pan drippings thru a fine sieve to mix their goodness well into the sauce. We really enjoyed these cutlets w/a mixed green salad & Avo Ranch Twice Baked Spuds on the side. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. :-)
