Michel Roux Jr’s pork steaks with summer vegetables

This summer-ready dish makes a hero of pork steaks, cooked simply and beautifully. “Rib-eye is an unusual cut of pork, but I like it as there is a good vein of fat running through that keeps the meat flavourful and juicy,” says Michel Roux Jr. “Ordinary pork chops will also work well, though. In this recipe everything is cooked in the same pan, so the vegetables pick up the lovely flavour of the pork.”
