Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork steaks ¾" thick.
The Rub
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon each of garlic and onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
The Barbecue Sauce
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Coat the pork steaks with the dry rub.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil and sear the pork steaks on each side until they are browned, crispy and cooked through. About 7 minutes per side.
- In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients for the BBQ sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened.
- Remove the pork steaks from the skillet and coat them with the BBQ sauce. Serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Monitor the steaks closely while searing to prevent burning, especially when using brown sugar. Reduce heat if necessary to ensure a perfectly cooked and flavorful steak.
- Pork must be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F. I recommend pulling the meat off the heat between 165-175°F.
- The thickness plays an important role in cooking times. For my three-quarter-inch thick steaks, they took right at fourteen minutes to reach 165°F.
- Let the meat rest for at least seven minutes for the best results!
- Do not crowd the meat in the skillet to ensure it cooks evenly.
