Ingredients

15 ml sunflower oil
1 onion, sliced
250 g bacon rashers, chopped
5 cm fresh ginger, peeled and crushed
5 ml Robertsons cinnamon
5 ml Robertsons rosemary
600 ml apple juice

Cooking Method

Preheat oven to 180°C.
Heat oil in a pan and fry the onion and bacon until soft.
Add the ginger, Robertsons Cinnamon and Robertsons Rosemary and fry for 1 minute, stirring continuously.
Add a little water to the pan to deglaze if necessary then remove the pan from the heat.
In a separate saucepan bring the apple juice to the boil then reduce the heat and whisk in the contents of the sachet of Knorr Dry Cook-In Sauce Rich Country Beef Stew and allow to simmer until thick then remove from the heat.
Using an ovenproof casserole dish start to prepare the layers beginning with the bacon and onion mix, top THIS layer with 3 pork steaks followed by apples and then sliced potato.
Repeat the layers ending with potato then pour the sauce over.
Dot the top layer of potato with a few small knobs of margarine then cover with tin foil and place in a preheated oven for about 90 minutes or until the steaks are tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
Season with Robertsons Black Pepper and serve piping hot.
Serve with rice and freshly steamed vegetables.
