Sticky, golden pork neck steaks meet a creamy honey-mustard glaze in this comforting one-pan-style dinner. Served with fennel, beetroot, Brussels sprouts, radishes and sweet potato roasted until caramelised and fragrant, it’s the kind of cosy meal that tastes far more impressive than the effort involved. Pork neck stays wonderfully juicy, while the sweet-tangy sauce ties everything together.
