Pork Steaks with Apple & Fennel Slaw
Juicy pork steaks meet a crisp, crunchy apple and fennel slaw that screams spring. It’s fresh, it’s fast, and it’s the kind of weeknight dinner that feels a little bit fancy. Perfect on the pan or the BBQ — and the slaw’s so good you’ll want to pile it on everything.

Servings:

4 pork loin steaks
2 green apples, thinly sliced or julienned
1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced (reserve fronds for garnish)
1 small red onion, finely sliced (optional for kids)
1 small carrot, grated or julienned
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp Greek yoghurt
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper, to taste
Make the slaw — In a large bowl, toss apples, fennel, onion, and carrot. In a small bowl, whisk mayo, yoghurt, vinegar, and mustard. Season with salt and pepper, then mix through veg.
Cook the pork — Heat olive oil in a pan (or preheat BBQ). Season pork steaks with salt and pepper, then cook 3–4 mins each side until golden and cooked through. Rest for 5 mins.
Serve — Plate pork steaks with a generous pile of apple & fennel slaw. Garnish with fennel fronds and a squeeze of lemon if you’ve got one handy.
Serving tip
For a bigger feed, add roasted new potatoes on the side or stuff the slaw and pork into fresh rolls for easy spring sandwiches.
