  1. Preheat oven to 140C fan-forced (160C conventional).

  2. Pat steaks dry and season lightly with salt.

  3. Heat a heavy-based ovenproof pot over high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and sear steaks for 4 minutes each side until golden. Remove and set aside.

  4. Sear fennel wedges in the same pot for 1-2 minutes each side until golden. Remove and set aside.

  5. Add onion, garlic, sage, bay leaf and rosemary. Saute for 3-4 minutes until golden. Pour in wine, bring to the boil and reduce by half.

  6. Add lemon peel and milk. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  7. Return pork and fennel to the pot. Cover and place in the oven for 3 hours.

  8. Gently remove pork from the sauce. Discard bay leaf and lemon peel.

  9. Whisk butter through the sauce until smooth and silky.

  10. Saute cabbage and kale in a hot pan with 1-2 tbsp olive oil and a splash of water. Cook until vibrant green. Finish with a squeeze of lemon.

  11. Serve pork over the greens. Spoon the milk sauce over generously. Garnish with fennel wedges.
