- Ready In:
- 1hr 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 2 -3 lbs pork steak
- 1 tablespoon oil
- chili powder, to taste (I use about a palmful)
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 1 (4 ounce) can tomato sauce
- water, to cover
directions
- Cube the pork steaks, cutting off much of the fat.
- Brown the meat (and bones) in the oil.
- I usually let it go for about 30 minutes or so.
- Drain.
- I drain into a measuring cup and refrigerate, so I can scrape off the fat and put the juice back in.
- Add the seasonings, tomato sauce and water to cover (enough so you'll have a good gravy) Cover and let go until pork is tender.
- 40 minutes should do it, but I usually let it go and hour or two, so the pork just melts in your mouth.

I made this yesterday with about 2 kilos of fresh ham to start, trimmed, of course. I cooked 30 minutes without the spices, then 2 hours with. At the end, the meat was still pretty much hanging onto its cube state, so I took a scissors to it in the pot and sort of chopped things up, which was easy to do. Maybe make the cubes smaller? I know have quite a bit of pork taco meat! Some will go over the rice, as suggested for lunch today, some I think I'm going to cook down with BBQ sauce for bbq sandwiches, and it looks like it will freeze well. I may add a bit more spice, we'll see after it has been in the fridge overnight. I'm in France, so this kind of food is a surprise to everyone. I'm looking forward to finding different ways to use the meat!

OK lets see...My name is Diane and I'm married to a wonderful guy -- going on 20 years. We have 2 kids -- 1 daughter and 1 son a 70lb german shepard, a fat cat and a very snobby cat! I work a couple of days a week in the Loop and the rest of my time is spent sitting at the kids sporting events. I love to try new recipes. Luckily, hubby will try just about anything. The kids aren't so eager about that, but are generally very good sports about it!
