Pork rib-eye steak with chilli and apples

Not yet rated

A rib-eye is known as king of steak in the world of beef – but it is an equally revered cut when it comes to pork. The marbled fat not only oozes with flavour but means the pork has less chance to dry out, resulting in a juicy triumph every time. Served simply with Henry's sweet, fiery and tangy apples, this is a dish you simply must try!
