Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pork steaks 2-2 ½ lb total (8-10 oz each)
  • pork steak marinade optional
  • ¼ cup- ½+ cup BBQ sauce divided
  • ½ cup avocado oil or olive oil
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons pork rub homemade link below or store bought

Instructions
 

Marinating

  • Combine the oil, apple cider vinegar, ¼ cup BBQ sauce, and pork rub in a small bowl. Combine the marinade ingredients. Add the 4 steaks to a gallon size Ziplock bag and place it inside of a larger container inside the fridge. Let the pork marinate for 2-24 hours.
  • Remove the pork from the fridge 30-60 mins before cooking to start bringing them up to room temperature, this helps them to cook more evenly.

Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Lay the pork shoulder steaks on the baking sheet, leaving room in between them.
  • Bake them uncovered for 30-35 minutes until internal temp reaches at least 145 F when checked with a digital meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat.
  • Brush BBQ sauce on both sides of the pork and broil them for a couple of minutes to get that "just grilled" appearance. Serve with more BBQ sauce on the side, along with your favorite BBQ favorites of course!

Notes

  • To make the marinade, we used our homemade pork rub recipe. It keeps for 6+ months in a small jar and makes more than the recipe needs. Your favorite store-bought brand can be used instead!
  • We just add BBQ sauce at the very end of the recipe, otherwise, the sugars in the sauce can start to burn if you add it too soon.
  • Pork steaks are sometimes sold as individual boneless steaks, or as large 1 lb+ bone-in steaks. You can also find thin- cut pork steaks. For recipe testing, we used large bone-in steaks and cut them in half, which left one steak with the bone and the other boneless. If the kind you buy are thin cut or are small boneless chops weighing less than 8-10 oz, you can still follow this recipe they just might cook faster than our recipe. A digital meat thermometer comes in handy to prevent the meat from overcooking!
