108: Grilled pork steaks with vermouth and fennel, p380

Yummy tasty garlicky rosemary-y marinade this, nice and thick, and made the pork steaks deliciously juicy and tasty after 5-10mins on the griddle pan. Definitely a marinade to use again. Fennel was interesting... as stated previously, I don't really like fennel, but clearly Nigel does... however, softening it in butter and then braising it in vermouth got rid of the overwhelmingly aniseedy taste I don't like, and gave it a lovely soft taste instead, but at the same time retaining quite a lot of crunch and texture. Not bad at all :)
