How to choose the best ingredients for Pork Shoulder Steaks Recipe – stewed in sauerkraut with fresh pineapple
Sauerkraut: sauerkraut you choose what you have available. It can be with or without carrots. Check the ingredients so that there is no vinegar added to the cabbage because then it is not original, full-value sauerkraut. Sauerkraut is indispensable in this recipe and cannot be replaced, for example, with fresh cabbage.
Pork shoulder steaks: we choose the best quality you can access for pork shoulder steaks. I try to make them manageable, although this aspect does not affect the quality of this dish. You can also use a loin, and this meat will also be very juicy and soft.
Pineapple: if possible, pineapple, choose fresh. They are now available on the market, and the taste is fantastic compared to a can’s. Fresh pineapple cannot be used in all recipes, but Pork Shoulder Steaks stewed in sauerkraut with fresh pineapple is perfect.
Tips and tricks for Pork Shoulder Steaks Recipe
- To brown the parts of the meat, fry it with little fat. The nape has quite a lot of fat in it and will melt away during frying.
- If the cabbage is too acidic for you, you can squeeze the cabbage juice out a little (half a cup) and add the same amount of water.
