Directions

Season the steaks with salt and pepper and put in a non metallic shallow dish. Mix orange rind, juice, garlic and mustard together well. Pour mixture over chops. Cover and chill for 2 hours or overnight.
Heat stock in frying pan until bubbling. Remove steaks from marinade and add to stock. Reserve marinade. Cover pan and simmer very gently for about 20 minutes until chops no longer pink in the centre.
Remove chops and keep covered. Put cooking liquid and reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Boil for 5 minutes until sauce is thick enough to coat back of a wodden spoon.
Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan and add the chops and apple. Fry over a high heat for 5 minutes, turning occasionally until the pork is golden and the apples are tender.
Serve with potatoes and vegetables.
