Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wrap the garlic cloves in foil with a splash of olive oil, roast for 20 mins until soft.
  2. While garlic roasts, season pork steaks with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika on both sides.
  3. Heat a splash of olive oil in a pan over medium-high. Sear steaks for 3-4 mins per side until golden.
  4. Let steaks rest on a plate. In a bowl, mash roasted garlic, mix with mayo and lemon juice for the aioli.
  5. Slice steaks against the grain, drizzle with aioli, and serve hot.

Delight in the tender pork paired with the creamy, garlicky aioli. Try stacking slices on toasted bread for an epic sandwich.
