Pork Steaks Ingredient Guide

Pork Steaks: Pork steaks are cut from the shoulder (AKA Boston Butt) and are typically fattier than pork chops. Look for 1-inch bone-in or boneless steaks that are about the same size. Pork chops can also be used in this recipe but tend to be leaner so you’ll need to adjust the cooking time.

Seasonings: Herbs like thyme and rosemary add lovely flavor to this dish (fresh or dried). You can swap in herbs like sage, parsley, fennel, and mustard seeds as well.

Sauce: Butter and cream add richness while broth adds both salt and flavor. Feel free to whisk in extra herbs if you’d like.

Variations

  • Use this recipe for other cuts of pork or other meats, such as pork chops, turkey, or chicken cutlets, (adjusting the cook time for each accordingly).
  • Give the sauce other flavors by adding different spices or seasonings. Swirl in some Dijon mustard for a bit of zest.

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  • Season the pork steaks with salt, pepper, and herbs on both sides.

  • Heat a large cast iron (or oven proof) skillet over over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.

  • Add the olive oil and heat until smoking. Add the pork and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown.

  • Place the pan in the oven and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

  • Transfer the pork to a plate to rest.

  • While the pork is resting, place the skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. (Be careful, the handle will be hot.) Add the butter to melt. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

  • Turn the heat to medium-high and add the broth, scrape up any brown bits. Whisk in the cream and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes uncovered or until slightly thickened.

  • Spoon the sauce over the steaks and serve.

Preheat the cast-iron skillet before adding the steaks to quickly sear the outside.
Before making the sauce, if the skillet is still very hot from the oven, you might need to allow it to cool a little so the butter will not burn.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
