So, I have been having fun cooking with wine. My husband and I recently became members at Ponte Winery in Temecula. I am just fascinated with these wines and every time we go wine tasting I come home inspired by a wine I tasted (and a bottle of that wine). This week it is the Isabel. It has peach and apricot notes, which is perfect with pork. I am a big fan of inexpensive cuts of meat-and pork shoulder is just that-but it makes a great steak for this recipe.

Ingredients:
4 Pork Shoulder Steaks
Salt and Pepper
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
4 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
2-3 Shallots or Torpedo Onions, Sliced Thinly
2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Capers with Brine
1 Cup Peas, Frozen (I used fresh from my garden)
2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
1 Cup White Wine, I used Isabel from Ponte

In a heavy bottom skillet heat the oil. Generously salt and pepper your pork shoulder steaks. Cook on each side until nice and brown. Cook only 2 steaks at a time to keep the pan temp hot and you get a good sear on the steaks.

Take the steaks out of the pan and add the other 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic and shallots (or torpedo onions). Cook for approximately 2 minutes; add the capers and the peas. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the Dijon Mustard. Cook for about 1 minute. Add the wine and deglaze the pan. Put the steaks back in the pan and cook on high for about 1 minute each side. Plate the steaks and pour the sauce over the steaks.
