The Tomapunk steak from organic forest pigs impresses with its fine taste and the jagged cut fat side, which releases a wonderfully aromatic fat during frying. This is used to fry the potato cubes directly in it, giving them a wonderfully crispy texture and an incomparable taste. Juicy cherry tomatoes provide a fresh, sweet addition.

Ingredients

2 x 200 g Tomapunk steaks
500 g hard-boiling potatoes
150 g cherry tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Let the Tomapunk steaks thaw in the fridge overnight and then leave to warm to room temperature. Rub the jaggedly cut fat side with salt. Season the meat lightly with salt.
Peel the potatoes and cut into very small, even cubes.
Preheat a frying pan over a high heat. Place the steaks fat side down in the hot pan and render the fat for about 1 minute until the pan is well greased.
Then sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side until they have a nice crust.
After frying, set the steaks aside, season with freshly ground pepper and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
Deep-fry the potato cubes directly in the released fat over a medium heat. Turn them regularly by swirling the pan until they are golden brown and crispy all over (approx. 10 minutes). Then drain on kitchen paper and season with salt.
Finally, briefly fry the cherry tomatoes in the remaining fat in the pan over a medium heat until they burst open slightly (approx. 2-3 minutes). Season with a pinch of salt.
Serve the Tomapunk steaks with the chips rissolees and the fried cherry tomatoes.

Tip: The fat released from the forest pork steaks is exceptionally aromatic. Excess fat can be rendered and stored after frying - it is ideal for frying or refining other dishes. Due to the natural movement of the animals, the steaks are particularly muscular, have a firm bite and an unmistakably intense flavor.
