Pork Steaks and Baked Apples

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. 2

   Combine a large pinch of salt with a few grindings of pepper, the cayenne and garlic, and sprinkle apples with this mixture.

3. 3

   Put apples in a baking dish, pour white wine around them, and bake until apples are shriveled but moist, about 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, heat oil over medium heat in a skillet large enough to hold pork.

5. 5

   Dust pork lightly with flour and sear it on both sides for a total of just a minute or so; it need not become brown.

6. 6

   Add red wine and adjust heat so mixture boils energetically.

7. 7

   Cook pork, turning occasionally, until it gains a beautiful deep color, is cooked through and wine reduces to a syrup; about 10 minutes.

8. 8

   Season meat with salt and pepper.

9. 9

   Serve pork with red wine sauce spooned over it, next to apples, with a little of the white wine they cooked in.
