Combine the rub ingredients together in a bowl, then apply evenly over the pork steaks. Leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the fridge if you wish
2
To make the barbecue sauce, place all the ingredients in a pan and simmer until you have a thick, glossy sauce. Be careful not to over-reduce, as it will thicken up more as it cools – 5 minutes should do it. Once slightly cooled, transfer to a squeezy bottle
3
Next, make the coleslaw. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Taste and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper
4
When you are ready to cook the steaks, place in a smoking hot griddle pan for 4–6 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of the steaks. Leave to rest in a warm place before carving
5
Once rested, carve the steaks against the grain of the meat
6
To assemble the tacos, spoon a heaped spoon of coleslaw into the centre of each taco, sprinkle with some baby gem and top with slices of pork. Finish with lashings of barbecue sauce
