Ingredients
- ¼ cup very fruity extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 4 x 250 g free-range pork neck steaks
- Salt and black pepper
Fennel and apple salad
- 1 small fennel bulb (fronds reserved, finely sliced), thinly sliced
- 1 green apple, thinly sliced
- 2 cups baby rocket leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced

Instructions
- Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Season the pork neck steaks on both sides with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Pan-fry the pork on both sides, until just medium. Remove to a plate to rest while you prepare the salad.
- To make the salad, in a large bowl, whisk the lemon juice, mustard, ¼ cup olive oil and a generous pinch of salt to make a dressing.
- Add the fennel, apple, rocket, capers, chervil and parmesan in the large bowl with the prepared dressing and toss gently with your hands to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the rocket, fennel and apple salad with the pork neck steaks.
