Pork steaks with Tomato and Parmesan crust

This recipe was recommended from a couple of people at work who had tried it! It was beautiful, so good I have made it twice already and ridiculously easy and simple. The recipe I have used is from the Waitrose website, which is a surprisingly good source for inspiration!

Serves 2

2 thin-cut pork loins
3 tbsp Red (Tomato) Pesto
4 tbsp Parmesan cheese, finely grated
small handful of fresh basil, chopped / 1 1/2 tsp dried basil

1. Bash the pork loins to get them nice and thin.
2. Combine the red pesto, parmesan and the basil in a bowl. If it looks a little dry add some extra-virgin olive oil if needed.
3. Coat one side of the pork loin with the red mixture.
4. Line a grill pan with some foil and preheat the grill to a moderate temperature. Grill the pork, mixture side up for 5 minutes.
5. Turn the pork over, coat the other side with the rest of the mixture and grill again for around 5 minutes or until cooked through.

Absolutely delicious! I served them with lightly crushed potatoes and green vegetables. They weren't around long enough to picture I'm afraid - you'll just have to take my word for it!
