SMOKY DRY-RUBBED PORK STEAKS



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 the right steak. Ribeye, strip, and tenderloin steaks are all good choices for this rub.
  • Use a generous amount of rub. Don't be afraid to really coat the steak in the rub. This will help to create a flavorful crust.
  • Let the steak rest before cooking. This will help the rub to penetrate the meat and develop its flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Let the steak rest after cooking. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This smoky steak rub is the perfect way to add flavor to your next grilled steak. It's easy to make and can be used on any type of steak. With its blend of spices, herbs, and paprika, this rub will give your steak a delicious smoky flavor that will keep you coming back for more.
