Barham Family Farm Coffee-Beer Marinated Pork Steak with Swiss Chard and Roasted Fingerling Potato Salad

For the Pork Steak:

2 (1 1/4-pound) pork shoulder bone-in steak

3/4 cup Boulevard Steep Drop! Nitro Cold Brew Milk Stout

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

2-3 tablespoons canola oil

For the Swiss chard:

Reserved pork fat

1 bunch Swiss chard

1/4 cup Olive Tree cranberry-walnut balsamic vinegar

Pat the pork steaks dry with paper towels. Place steaks in a zip-top plastic bag. In a small mixing bowl, combine coffee stout, brown sugar and cayenne using a whisk. Pour the marinade over the pork steaks and allow to marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove pork steaks from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard remaining marinade.

In a cast-iron skillet, heat canola oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, place the steak or steaks (don't crowd) in the skillet and sear 4 to 5 minutes or until the pork steak releases easily from the bottom of the pan. Flip pork steak with tongs and sear the other side, 4 to 5 minutes until brown. Remove the steak from the pan and place it in a 9- by 13-inch casserole dish. (Depending on the size of your cast-iron pan, sear the second pork steak and add to the casserole dish.)

Place the pork steak in the oven and finish cooking 10 minutes or more until the center of the pork steaks is faintly pink but not raw, or until a thermometer reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Remove pork steak from the oven and allow the meat to rest for 5-10 minutes.

While the pork steaks are finishing, trim the stems from the chard in 1-inch pieces and roughly chop the leaves creating horizontal ribbons. Add the stems to the pork fat in the cast-iron pan and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the leaves and stir occasionally until the Swiss chard is wilted. Stir balsamic into Swiss chard and remove pan from the heat.
