Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C.

Prepare the Honey and Mustard Sauce: In a bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, honey, sour cream, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Grill the Steaks: Drizzle a few tablespoons of the honey mustard sauce over the pork neck steaks and grill them for 5-10 minutes until they are caramelised and slightly crispy.

Serve: Once the vegetables and pork neck steaks are done, serve the roasted vegetables alongside the pork neck steaks. Drizzle more honey mustard sauce over the steaks, and enjoy!
