Humm, I saw 6 steaks and yes, the name can be very confusing. Best I
can tell is she might be overcooking them? Due to trichinosis (sp?),
USA folks traditionally overcook pork. It's *exceptionally Rare* in
commercially raised pork now and has been for decades.

She may like them well done though as used to it. Odd to me but I
accept if she likes that.
