Pork shoulder steak

One of the most versatile types of meat, pork is economical, tender if cooked correctly, and oozing with flavour. Pork is high in protein, an excellent source of iron, zinc and B vitamins and tastes wonderful too – so get some pork on your fork. Avoid pork with yellow coloured fat and go for the white pork shoulder steak instead.

Rough flesh and white bones indicate the animal is older and the meat less tender than it should be. Other popular methods include pan-frying, stir-frying, stewing and griddling. Hocks and trotters should be boiled to soften the connective tissues and can then be stuffed and roasted.
