The Best Seasoning Ideas to Get the Best Flavors

Sweet and Smoky: Mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, cumin, and a touch of chili powder to infuse your pork steaks with a perfect balance of sweetness and smokiness.

Citrus Zest: Grate some lemon or orange zest and blend it with minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper for a bright and refreshing taste.

Asian Fusion: Create a marinade with soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, and a hint of honey to add an umami-rich and slightly sweet Asian twist.

Cooking Tips to Get the Best Results

Here are some tips you can follow to make sure you end up with mouthwatering steaks you can serve to anyone.

Choose the Right Cut: When buying pork steaks, make sure you buy from a butcher you trust. Some pork steaks come with bone-in options, but you can just have them removed easily, or do it yourself.

Preheat the Broiler: Make sure to preheat your broiler for at least 5-10 minutes before cooking the pork steaks so they cook through and brown well on the outside.

Prepare the Broiler Pan: Line the broiler pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Some people use the collected juices to make gravy or other sauces

Marinate for Extra Flavor: For an even deeper taste, marinate the pork steaks in your favorite seasoning blend for 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking in the broiler.

Classic Broiled Pork Steak Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork steaks (if you want broiled pork chops, just ask the butcher for the right cut )
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the broiler by setting your oven to broil and adjusting the rack to the highest position.
2. Line the broiler pan with aluminum foil, making sure you lightly grease the surface to prevent the meat from sticking.
3. Pat the pork steaks dry with paper towels and generously season them on both sides with your seasoning blend.
4. Place the seasoned pork steaks on the broiler pan and position the pan in the oven, directly under the broiler.
5. Broil the pork steaks for about 4-6 minutes per side until they develop a golden-brown crust and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness. You may have to adjust the cooking time depending on how thick the pork cuts are.

Notes

• Remember that cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the pork steaks, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking. As much as possible, make sure all the steaks per batch are around the same thickness so they all cook at the same time.
