Magic dust
1/4 cup paprika
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 1/2 tablespoons dry mustard
2 tablespoons coarse kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
Barbecue sauce
2 thick bacon slices, finely chopped
1/3 cup grated onion
1/3 cup grated tart green apple
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup ketchup
2/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pork
4 14- to 16-ounce pork steaks (each about 3/4 to 1 inch thick)
1 disposable 11 3/4x8 1/2x1 3/4-inch aluminum pan for charcoal grill; 2 pans if using 2-burner gas grill; 3 pans if using 3-burner gas grill
4 cups applewood chips, soaked in water at least 30 minutes, divided

Steps:

  • For magic dust:
  • Mix ingredients in jar; seal.
  • Do ahead: Can be made 2 months ahead. Store at room temperature.
  • For barbecue sauce:
  • Heat large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add bacon and sauté until golden, about 4 minutes. Add onion, apple, and garlic. Sauté 4 minutes. Add all remaining ingredients. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Cool. Transfer to bowl, cover, and chill.
  • Do ahead: Can be made 1 week ahead. Keep chilled.
  • For pork:
  • Sprinkle magic dust over both sides of steaks, about 1 1/2 tablespoons for each steak. Transfer to platter; cover and chill overnight.
  • For final grilling:
  • Transfer pork to clean platter. Thickly coat 1 side with sauce; sprinkle lightly with magic dust.
  • Do ahead: Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool completely. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Remove pans from barbecue and prepare charcoal grills with fresh coals (medium heat), or heat gas grills to medium heat. Place pork on grill, sauce side up. Grill until heated through and sauce begins to caramelize, occasionally turning and brushing with more sauce, about 8 minutes. Slice pork and serve.

The pork steaks were a bit tough, but the flavor was good. I think I might have used the wrong cut of meat. Will try again with a different cut.

These pork steaks were a bit dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I might have overcooked them a bit. Will try again and cook them for less time.

These pork steaks were amazing! The smoky flavor was perfect, and the magic dust rub was the perfect touch. I served them with grilled pineapple and roasted sweet potatoes, and it was a perfect meal. Will definitely be making these again.
