Vegetarian bacon""" I don't get it.
But none of that has anything to do with pork steaks. I occasionally like a nice bit of pork and I had been seeing these tenderized pork loin steaks in the grocery store for a while. Excuse my poor photograph. They are like beef cube steaks, except that they are pork loin, or very thin boneless pork loin chops which have been put through the tenderizing machine.
I do like cube steaks, especially done this way. Flash fried in butter until golden brown and served with a pat of herbed butter melting on top. A cheap way to get some tasty steak satisfaction!
So anyways, one day I picked up a package of the pork cube steaks to try out. They are quite economical actually, being one of the cheaper pieces of meat you can buy. Pork actually is one of the cheapest protein options when it ...
