|description=Holidaying in France, we discovered what a marvellous marinade calvados was for pork
}}

While on holiday in [[France]] recently we discovered what a marvellous [[Marinade|marinade]] [[Calvados|calvados]] (''apple brandy'') was for [[Pork|pork]] steaks, so once home we tried a sort of [[Tex-Mex|tex-mex]] version to accompany the [[French]] [[Haricot beans|haricot beans]] cooked in [[Duck fat|duck fat]] - very Basque!

THe meal was fantastic but the presentation could have been improved with a little green, maybe a [[Sweet Pepper|sweet pepper]]?

{{RecipeIngredients

| 50 ml (or so) of [[Calvados|calvados]]
| 2 tablespoons [[Tex-Mex rub|tex-mex rub]]
| 1 tablespoon [[Olive oil|olive oil]]
| 6 tablespoon [[Masa Harina|masa harina]] - fine or coarse [[Yellow cornmeal|yellow cornmeal]] works almost as well for this
}}
===[[Mise en place]]===

* Tenderise the meat with a [[ Swiss steak|meat tenderiser tool]] if you have one
* Place the steaks in a [[Lock and Lock box]] together with the [[Calvados|calvados]] and the [[Tex-Mex rub|tex-mex rub]] -
* Leave to [[Marinade|marinade]] in the [[Fridge|fridge]] for an hour or more if possible shaking now and then to ensure a good cover
* Preheat the [[Grill|grill]] or [[Griddle pan|griddle pan]] - I used a Breville electric grill

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod

| Drain the [[Pork|pork]] steaks and discard the [[Marinade|marinade]] - it could be used for making a [[Sauce|sauce]] but I didn't need gravy this time
| Add the [[Masa Harina|masa harina]] to a large place and press the steaks into the [[Flour|flour]] to coat
| [[Oil]] the [[Grill|grill]] with a little [[Olive oil|olive oil]] and [[Griddle|griddle]] for about 8 minutes - turning once if not using a double-sided griddle
| Leave to [[Rest for|rest for]] 5 minutes
| Serve
