Smoky Dry-Rubbed Pork Steaks image

A little sweet, a little spicy, a little smoky-these pork shoulder steaks have everything it takes to steal the show at your next dinner party. (It's so good it could even steal the spotlight from turkey on Thanksgiving.) To make the steaks, cut a boneless pork butt crosswise against the grain, or special-order presliced steaks from your butcher.

Categories     Pork     Fennel     Paprika     Garlic     Mustard     Lemon     Orange     Dairy Free     Thanksgiving     Entertaining     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tsp. fennel seeds
2 Tbsp. light brown sugar
4 tsp. kosher salt
1 Tbsp. smoked Spanish paprika
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. mustard powder (preferably Colman's English)
1 lemon
1 orange
1 (4-lb.) boneless pork butt, cut crosswise against the grain into two or three 2"-thick steaks
3 Tbsp. grapeseed, sunflower, or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Toast fennel seeds in a dry small skillet over medium-low heat, tossing occasionally, until nutty and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and coarsely chop, then transfer to a small bowl. Add brown sugar, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and mustard powder. Zest lemon and orange (reserve zested lemon and orange), add zest to bowl, and toss to combine. Rub pork all over with dry rub, pressing to adhere as much as possible to the surface. Place steaks on a wire rack set over a sheet pan and chill at least 3 hours and up to 24.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Thoroughly pat dry pork steaks. Heat a large ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over high until smoking. Drizzle steaks with oil and rub to cover all surfaces. Working in batches if needed, sear steaks on all sides until deeply browned and lightly charred, 4-5 minutes per side. (Keep a good eye on them; they'll take on color relatively fast because of the sugar.) Transfer steaks to a plate. Reserve skillet.
  • Wipe out any accumulated dry brine and juices from sheet pan, then place steaks back on rack set over sheet pan. Return skillet to high heat. Halve reserved lemon and orange and sear (cut side down) until charred; set aside.
  • Transfer steaks to oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 140°F, 30-40 minutes. (Start checking after the first 30 minutes; the time will vary based on the shape and size of your steaks.) Transfer to a cutting board and let steaks rest 10 minutes. Thinly slice on a diagonal, transfer to a platter, and squeeze charred citrus halves over.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork steak. Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that your steak is juicy and flavorful.
  • Use a dry rub to season the pork steak. A dry rub is a mixture of spices and herbs that is rubbed on the surface of the meat. This helps to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
  • Let the pork steak rest before cooking. This allows the dry rub to penetrate the meat and the juices to redistribute throughout the steak. This will result in a more evenly cooked and flavorful steak.
  • Cook the pork steak over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork steak is cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature of the steak should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork steak rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak and makes it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Pork steak is a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following the tips above, you can create a flavorful and juicy pork steak that your family and friends will love. Whether you are grilling, pan-frying, or baking your pork steak, be sure to use a dry rub and cook it to your desired doneness. With a little practice, you will be able to create a perfect pork steak every time.
