Pork Steak with Spring Onion Mash & Creamed Leeks & Roasted Peppers.
This dish is a comforting, restaurant-quality meal you can easily recreate at home. Juicy pork steaks are roasted over sweet peppers to soak up their flavour, paired with spring onion mash that’s buttery and light, and finished with a side of creamed leeks — velvety, rich, and indulgent. It’s the perfect midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend treat when you fancy something hearty and satisfying.
What To Serve with Pork Steak
This dish is a complete plate in itself, but you can enhance it with a few simple sides:
-
Crusty Bread – Ideal for mopping up any leftover creamed leeks.
-
Steamed Green Beans or Broccoli – Adds a bit of crunch and freshness.
-
Honey Roast Carrots – Their sweetness pairs beautifully with pork.
-
Apple Sauce or Spicy Chutney – A zingy contrast to the creamy mash and leeks.
What is the Best Cut of Pork for This Dish?
The best cut to use is a pork loin steak or boneless pork shoulder steak. These cuts stay juicy and tender when roasted and pair perfectly with rich sides like mash and creamed vegetables.
Why Steam Potatoes for Mash?
Steaming potatoes, rather than boiling them, prevents them from becoming waterlogged. This keeps your mash light, fluffy, and ready to absorb all the delicious butter, cream, and seasoning you add later. It’s a simple switch that makes a big difference.
How To Make Creamed Leeks?
Creamed leeks are made by gently frying sliced leeks in butter until soft and sweet, then simmering them in double cream. This creates a luxurious, silky side dish that complements both pork and mash perfectly.

Method
1
Peel & Steam the Potatoes (30 minutes)
-
Peel your potatoes.
-
Place them in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 30 minutes or until tender.
Why steam instead of boil?
Steaming keeps the potatoes drier, preventing them from becoming waterlogged. This gives your mash a fluffier texture and allows it to absorb butter, cream, and seasoning more effectively.
2
Prepare the Peppers & Pork (30 minutes at 180°C)
-
While the potatoes steam, cut the peppers in half lengthways and remove the seeds.
-
Place them cut side down in a roasting tin.
-
Lay the pork steaks directly on top of the peppers — this lets the pork juices drip onto the peppers as they cook, adding extra flavour.
Roast in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan) for 30 minutes.
3
Chop the Spring Onions
-
While the pork and peppers cook, finely slice your spring onions and set them aside for later.
Cook the Leeks (20 minutes total)
-
Slice the leeks into thin rounds.
-
Melt 30g butter in a pan over medium heat.
-
Add the leeks and gently fry for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened.
-
Pour in 100ml double cream, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for another 10 minutes until thick and velvety.

5
Fry the Spring Onions & Mash the Potatoes
-
Once the potatoes are soft, drain (if any water remains) and set aside.
-
In a frying pan, melt a little butter and gently fry the sliced spring onions for 2-3 minutes until softened.
-
Mash the steamed potatoes until smooth, then stir in the fried spring onions.
Add a splash of cream or milk and a knob of butter to loosen the mash and enhance the flavour.
6
Season Everything & Serve
-
Season the pork, peppers, mash and creamed leeks generously with salt and pepper.
-
Serve the juicy pork steak alongside the softened roasted peppers, creamy mash and luxurious creamed leeks.
Boom — dinner sorted.
