Equipment

  • 1 Oil Spray

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pork loin steaks
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp cornflour
  • 1 egg (whisked)
  • 1 cup panko (approx)
  • oil (in a spray bottle)

Instructions
 

  • Make small slits into the fat cap of the pork and tenderise by using the back of a knife or a tenderising hammer. 
  • Season the pork with salt and let sit whilst you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Arrange the egg, panko, and cornflour onto 3 separate trays or plates.
  • Start by coating the steak in cornflour, then egg, and finally the panko.
  • Spray thoroughly with a neutral oil and cook in the air fryer on a high heat (approx 200°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Flip halfway. 
  • Once golden and crispy, serve and enjoy!
