Pork Steak with Mexican Bean Salsa

This healthy, meaty pork recipe uses lean pork steaks and is on the table in less than 20 minutes! Pork chops are a great, budget-friendly option for dinner and can be grilled, baked or sautéed.

This recipe pairs the pork chops with a flavoursome bean salsa. Beans are among the most versatile and commonly eaten foods throughout the world and contain a variety of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Beans also contain fibre, folate, iron, potassium and magnesium while containing little or no total fat, trans-fat, sodium and cholesterol. We use these beans as a topping in this pork recipe but you can also eat them on their own as they provide a good amount of protein per serving.
