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.

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

Spread the mustard over the cooled pork

Spoon the mushroom mixture on top, dividing it evenly between the pork steaks
