I got a good deal at the grocery store on pork steaks, and wanted to know how you all cook them for your families? They are about the thickness of "normal" bone-in pork chops, and they are bone-in.

Thanks!
 
We grill them just like a steak. A little seasoning - garlic salt & pepper.
 
Ooooh - I have a great recipe...you brown them in a not-non-stick pan...while they're browning, use the APCS to slice & peel some granny smith apples. Remove the pork to a plate and put the apples in the pan wit hthe brown bits from the pork chops. Add one can of apple juice concentrate and cook til the apples are soft - then put the pork back in, bury the pork under the apples, cover & cook until the pork is cooked. Yummmmmm
 
Carolyn, Have you ever tried adding onions to this recipe? It sounds very good.
 
I grilled some pork chops in the grill pan with the Jamaican Jerk Rub the other night. It was really tasty! I used the press on top too. I think the only problem was I had the heat too high, so it browned the outsides too fast while the insides weren't done. However, these were boneless chops, and extra-thick.

The original recipe may have had onions in it as well. I haven't made it in probably 5+ years...and was trying to type it from memory.
 
Most of the time we just use Seasoned Salt on our pork steaks or pork chops, either grill or pan fry.
 
Something my family loves...even the boys love it...brown your chops in a skillet. Slice potatoes and put them in your rectangle baker, add a can or two of green beans...not french cut...then add your chops, cover with a can of cream of mushroom...or celery...soup and a can of water...enough to cover your potatoes. If you like casseroles you will love this...don't forget to season with your favorite seasoning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best cooking methods for pork steaks?

Pork steaks can be cooked using various methods, including grilling, pan-searing, baking, and slow cooking. Grilling and pan-searing are great for achieving a nice sear and flavor, while baking or slow cooking can help tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavors.

How can I ensure my pork steaks are tender and juicy?

To keep pork steaks tender and juicy, consider marinating them for a few hours before cooking. Using a meat tenderizer or letting them rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking can also help. Cooking them to an internal temperature of 145°F and allowing them to rest for a few minutes after cooking will ensure they remain juicy.

What seasonings work best with pork steaks?

Pork steaks pair well with a variety of seasonings. Popular choices include garlic, onion powder, paprika, and herbs like rosemary or thyme. A simple marinade of olive oil, vinegar, and your favorite spices can also enhance the flavor of the meat.

How long should I cook pork steaks on the grill?

Grill pork steaks over medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on their thickness. Always use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 145°F for safe consumption.

Can I cook pork steaks in the oven, and if so, how?

Yes, you can cook pork steaks in the oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F, season the steaks, and place them in a baking dish. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F. For added flavor, consider searing them in a skillet first before transferring to the oven.
