Ingredients
- 2lbs pork steaks
- 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh water
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to moderately high heat (350°F to 400°F).
- Mix the kosher salt, smoked paprika, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder in a bowl and put aside.
- Mix the apple cider vinegar with water and brush the mixture over the front, back, and sides of the steaks. Next, season the steaks liberally with the seasoning blend. Ensure an even coating on all sides.
- Put the pork steaks on the BBQ grill and grill for 8 to 10 mins. Flip the steaks and continue to cook for 8 to 10 mins on the other side.
- Flip frequently until you reach your desired doneness. Check the internal temperature at the thickest part of the pork steaks to ensure it reads at least 145°F.
- Move the pork steaks to a cutting board and wrap them with aluminum foil.
- Allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
According to the USDA, pork is safe for consumption when its internal temperature reaches 145°F. At this point, your pork will be succulent, but slightly pink in the center. You can continue to cook the pork steaks over direct heat until the internal temp reaches 160°F if you prefer well-done pork steak.
After removing the pork steaks from the heat, carryover cooking will increase the temperature by an additional 5°F.
Resting allows your pork steaks to reabsorb juices, which makes the meat juicy and tender.
Serve with twice-baked potatoes or roasted potatoes for a hearty meal or sauteed asparagus or a crisp, green salad for something a little lighter.
