- Cut the connective tissue along the fat band and between the different meat types of the pork steaks with a knife or scissors, so the meat does not curl.
- Season the pork with salt and pepper.
- Coat each steak in flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat with the toasted breadcrumbs.
- Set the crumbed pork on a rack over a tray.
- Bake for about 13 minutes.
- Cut each tonkatsu into 2 cm (¾ inch) wide strips and serve with shredded cabbage and tonkatsu sauce.
