Hachee Cider Pork Steaks offer a premium, continental-inspired option that butchers can prepare in-store to add depth and distinction to the pork counter. This product brings together classic European flavours with a modern retail-ready presentation, designed to look impressive raw while delivering rich, slow-cooked character once prepared by the customer.

At the heart of the dish is Verstegen Hachee Sauce, a deep, savoury base inspired by traditional Dutch stews. Its rounded sweetness and gentle spice profile work perfectly with pork, creating a sauce that penetrates during cooking while remaining visually appealing in the tray. The addition of dry cider lifts the sauce with subtle acidity, helping to balance richness and enhance the natural sweetness of the meat. Shredded leek and wholegrain mustard add texture and visual interest, reinforcing a handcrafted, butcher-made feel.

The pork steaks are first seasoned with Verstegen World Grill Seasalt and Lampong Pepper, an oil-based seasoning that delivers clean salinity and aromatic heat without overpowering the meat. This ensures the pork remains the hero while gaining depth and consistency in flavour. The oil-based format also helps the seasoning adhere well to the surface, improving appearance and flavour distribution during cooking.

To finish, Verstegen Decoration Mix France and fresh thyme provide an attractive, artisan garnish. This final touch elevates the product visually, making it ideal for premium displays, seasonal promotions, or “oven-ready” style offerings that encourage customer confidence and trade-up.

Hachee Cider Pork Steaks are easy for butchers to assemble, scalable for batch production, and versatile across meal occasions. They appeal strongly to customers seeking comfort food with a European twist, while giving butchers a differentiated product that showcases quality ingredients, skilled preparation, and the reliability of Verstegen flavour solutions.
