Sticky Pork Strips with Baby Potatoes

These sticky pork strips make us want to spend a Saturday afternoon with friends and good conversation. Complete with rosemary-infused baby potatoes, this is the ultimate beer-in-hand dish.

All about the marinade

The flavour of this dish completely comes from the marinade. And for this delicious marinade, we will be focusing on a sweet-spicy flavour:

• Garlic
• Thyme
• Olive oil
• Wholegrain mustard
• Salt

Marinade the pork for 2 to 6 hours. The longer it can soak in the marinade, the more flavourful and tender the pork will come out.

Pork browning tips

Once the meat has been soaking in the marinade for as long as possible, it’s time to brown the pork strips. When it comes to the browning method, there are two important things to remember. Firstly, pat the pork dry before putting it on the hot pan. Any moisture that is left turns into steam, thus preventing the browning crust that should form from getting crispy. And secondly, do not overload the pan with all the pork strips at once, as this can compromise the browning process.

Finally, the butter and honey are added to the pan and a delicious, smoky, sticky sauce forms around the pork. Serve with yummy soft rosemary baby potatoes and enjoy.
