Pour the marinade over the steaks, making sure they are fully submerged. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, though I’d recommend at least 2 hours if you can.

7. 7Transfer the skillet with the seared pork steaks...: Transfer the skillet with the seared pork steaks to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Check the internal temperature with an instant read meat thermometer after 15 minutes (mine normally take 20 minutes, but it can overcook quickly, so it’s best to check with a meat thermometer a little early.
8. 8Remove the skillet from the oven and let...: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving. (Pork steaks need to reach at least an internal temperature of 145°F, followed by at least a 3-minute rest time, to be safe to eat.)
