Unbreaded Njeguši Pork Steak with Prosciutto and Cheese

What it is
A butterflied pork loin steak stuffed with thin slices of Njeguši prosciutto and local mature cheese (like Kashkaval), pan-fried until golden. The unbreaded version ensures it's keto-friendly.
Key ingredients
Pork loin, Njeguši prosciutto, Kashkaval cheese, cooking oil/butter, salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request it *unbreaded* (bez pohovanja). Ask for it to be pan-fried simply in oil or butter. Omit all starchy sides (e.g., potatoes, rice).
Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Molim Njeguški Stek, ali nepohovan. Ispecite ga samo na ulju ili puteru, i bez skrobnih priloga poput krompira ili pirinča.
I'd like the Njeguški Stek unbreaded, please. Pan-fry it simply in oil or butter, and no starchy sides like potatoes or rice.
Watch out for
Breading (major), starchy sides, hidden sugars in some processed prosciuttos (less likely for authentic Njeguši).
