Preparazione

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic...: In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create the homemade seasoning blend. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy...: In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard to create the marinade.

3. 3

   Rub the pork steaks evenly with the homemade...: Rub the pork steaks evenly with the homemade seasoning blend, ensuring that both sides are well coated.

4. 4

   Place the seasoned pork steaks in a large...: Place the seasoned pork steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. 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. I prefer these after they’ve been marinating for 6 hours or overnight for best results.

5. 5

   Preheat your oven to 375°F. Remove the pork...: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Remove the pork steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

6. 6

   Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe...: Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they develop a nice brown crust.

7. 7

   Transfer 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. 8

   Remove 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.)
