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.

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 cut of pork steak. Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick, with little marbling. This will ensure that the steak stays moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Make sure your dry rub is flavorful and well-balanced. Use a combination of sweet, savory, and spicy ingredients to create a rub that will enhance the flavor of the pork.
  • Apply the dry rub to the pork steak at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will give the rub time to penetrate the meat and create a delicious crust.
  • Cook the pork steak over medium-high heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the steak is cooked through but still juicy.
  • Let the pork steak rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pork steak is a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can create a flavorful and juicy pork steak that is sure to please everyone at your table. Whether you are grilling, pan-frying, or oven-roasting your pork steak, be sure to use a good quality dry rub to enhance the flavor of the meat. With a little bit of effort, you can create a pork steak that is worthy of a special occasion.
