Mary Berry's Pork With Mushroom Crust
This is lovely for a midweek supper and ideal for preparing ahead. Served with hot green vegetables and buttered new potatoes. Mary's foolproof tip: Brown the pork on all sides, including the fatty edges. This seals the juices in and prevents the pork from drying out during baking.

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 400°F/ Gas 6
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a matching lid with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) olive oil over a high heat
Pat the pork dry and season with salt and pepper

Once the pan is hot, sear the fatty edges of the pork for 1 min (use tongs to hold them in place), then cook for 2 min on each side or until golden
Meanwhile, line a baking tray with foil
Transfer the pork to the tray and set aside to cool down completely, reserving the pan for later

Peel and slice the onion(s) finely
Return the pan to a high heat with a knob of butter
Once hot, add the onions and cook for 3 min until starting to turn glossy, stirring constantly
Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low and cook for 10-15 min or until softened and golden

Meanwhile, slice the mushrooms thinly
Grate the cheese
Cut the potatoes into bite-size chunks
Trim the green beans and cut in half
Boil a kettle

Once the onions are soft and brown, remove the lid and increase the heat to high to drive off any excess moisture
Add the mushrooms to the onions and cook for 5 min or until browned and all the liquid has evaporated, then remove the pan from the heat and season lightly with salt and pepper

Spread the mustard over the cooled pork
Spoon the mushroom mixture on top, dividing it evenly between the pork steaks
Sprinkle with the panko breadcrumbs, grated cheese and paprika
Bake in the oven for 10-15 min or until a golden crust has formed and the pork is cooked through

Meanwhile, add the potatoes to a pot of salted boiling water with a matching lid over a high heat
Bring to the boil and cook, covered, for an initial 7 min or until nearly cooked
Add the beans and cook, covered, for 3-4 min further or until tender but with a slight bite
Drain the lot

Heat the potato pot over a low heat with another knob of butter
Once melted, add the drained potatoes and beans and mix until coated, then season lightly with salt and pepper
Serve the crusted pork with the buttered potatoes and green beans
Enjoy!
