Prep:20minCook:30min
Sappho and I teamed up for this culinary delight, blending the vibrant flavors of pork scotch fillet steaks with apples and sweet potatoes.
Imagine tender pork scotch fillet steaks, bathed in a creamy cider sauce that tantalizes your taste buds. The marbling of the pork scotch fillet steaks ensures they remain juicy and flavorful throughout the cooking process, making each bite a succulent experience.
The apples lend a sweet and tangy twist, while the sweet potatoes offer a soft, creamy texture. For the apples, you can use varieties like Granny Smith for a tart flavor, Honeycrisp for sweetness, or Fuji for a balanced taste. The sweet potatoes, when roasted, add a depth of flavor and a hint of caramelization. Try using Beauregard sweet potatoes for a sweet and creamy texture, or Garnet for a rich, earthy flavor.
This dish is perfect for a whimsical summer evening, celebrating the abundance of the season.

Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
Season the pork scotch fillet steaks with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix the cider, honey, mustard, and cream. Set aside.
Step 4
In a casserole dish, arrange the pork scotch fillet steaks and apple slices.
Step 5
Pour the cider mixture over the top.
Step 6
Cover the dish with one of the following options:
Step 7
Lid: Using a lid will help retain moisture and can result in a more tender dish.
Step 8
Foil: Similar to using a lid, foil helps retain moisture and can speed up cooking. It also prevents the dish from drying out.
Step 9
Uncovered: Leaving the dish uncovered allows for some evaporation, which can result in a slightly different texture, with the sauce thickening more and the top of the pork and apples caramelizing slightly.
Step 10
Bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the pork scotch fillet steaks are cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.
For the roasted sweet potatoes:
Step 11
Toss the halved sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
Step 12
Place them on a baking sheet, cut side down.
Step 13
Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
