This dish uses bone-in pork loin steaks. A quick marination in a savory sage brine makes the meat even juicier and more flavorful. Pan-fry the pork and serve with a side of roasted butternut squash seasoned with sage and nutmeg. The savory juices left in the pan are used to make a delicious sauce with lemon, brown sugar, and sage. Its tartness perfectly complements both the tender meat and the sweet squash.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Combine 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 4 sage leaves in a small saucepan. Heat, stirring, over medium-high heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and add 5 cups cold water. Place the pork steaks in the brine and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  2. Chop 3 sage leaves and set aside. Combine the remaining 5 sage leaves with the pumpkin, 2 tablespoons olive oil, nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place on a baking sheet and roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.

  3. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Add to the skillet and cook until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the steak registers 140°F (60°C), 5-7 minutes per side. Divide among 4 plates.
  4. Add the chicken broth and the remaining 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the pan; cook, stirring, until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, chopped sage, and salt to taste. Pour the sauce over the pork and serve with the squash.
