If you’ve been searching for the best way to make tender and juicy baked pork steaks, you’ve landed in the right place. This easy recipe turns a budget-friendly cut of meat into a flavorful steak the whole family will love for dinner tonight.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a sheet pan with a bit of oil or cooking spray. Place the pork steaks on the baking tray. Season with the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Flip over and season the other side.
Bake Low and Slow. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake 2 hours depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F in the thickest part of the meat using a meat thermometer. Thicker steaks need longer cooking time than thin ones. If your steak is more like a thick pork chop, aim for closer to 3 hours.
Rest and Serve. Allow the pork steaks to rest for 5–10 minutes. Resting keeps them juicy and tender.
Optional Sear for Flavor Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat with olive oil. Sear each pork steak for 2–3 minutes per side to lock in flavor. (Skip if you’re short on time, but searing adds great flavor.)
