Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Mix ** half of the crushed garlic** with a splash of oil and half of the smoked paprika together in a shallow dish and turn the pork steaks over in the mix to coat them on both sides. Heat a large non-stick frying pan and fry the pork for about 4 mins on each side to part-cook and brown them, then remove them from the pan.
Step 2
Add the rest of the oil to the pan and fry the onions, carrots and remaining garlic, stirring frequently for 10 mins until the veg starts to caramelise a little. Pour in the sherry vinegar, allowing it to sizzle in the heat, then add the peppers, hot stock, rosemary, any juices left in the dish from the pork, the cherry tomatoes, tomato purée, remaining paprika and butter beans, including their stock.
Step 3
Lay the pork steaks on top, then cover the pan and cook for 20 mins until the pork and vegetables are tender. The pork will be cooked and juicy, but not fall apart. Remove the pork from the pan, stir in the chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice, (if using). Serve on large plates with a crack of black pepper.
