Make tender, flavorful pork steaks in the oven with this simple recipe. This method ensures juicy results perfect for a quick family meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork shoulder steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Pat the pork steaks dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and thyme.
  4. Rub the olive oil over both sides of each pork steak.
  5. Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over both sides of the steaks. Press the seasoning gently into the meat.
  6. Place the seasoned pork steaks in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the dish around the steaks, not over them.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). The time depends on thickness.
  9. Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest, covered loosely with foil, for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can sear the steaks in a hot skillet for 2 minutes per side before placing them in the baking dish.
  • If your steaks are thicker than 1 inch, you may need to add 5-7 minutes to the cooking time.
  • This recipe works well with pork loin steaks if you prefer a leaner cut.
