Fancy a Quickie?

In today’s culinary world, inspiration abounds allowing chefs to offer a diversification of flavours to meet consumer expectations. Restaurant menus are made up of an array of dishes showcasing the uniqueness of cuts from each protein. For pork, the cuts that make a regular feature on menus is pork belly, ribs and shoulder but one of the cuts that seldomly finds a regular place on most menus is the humble pork steak.

There is a misconception that it is difficult to cook the perfect steak but the solution to this problem is now available. While Australian Pork’s newly launched ad campaign, ‘Quickie’, focuses on people cooking at home, it’s key message is the steps to a perfectly cooked pork steak. That is, the 6-2-2 method. With a 2cm thick pork steak it only takes 6 minutes on one side, 2 minutes on the other and another 2 minutes to rest. This method is also perfect in a commercial setting, delivering a juicy, flavourful steak in just 10 minutes. Finally, a chef can meet pork steak expectations and this cut can be utilised in a wide range of dishes.

It’s as easy as 6-2-2
