Ingredients

▢ 4 boneless pork steaks
▢ 1 teaspoon salt
▢ 4 tablespoon pork seasoning homemade or store-bought
▢ 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F / 200°C. Pat 4 boneless pork steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Place the pork steaks in a baking dish. Add 1 tsp salt, 4 tbsp pork seasoning, and 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, then rub the mixture evenly over every side. Bake them immediately, or cover and marinate for 30 minutes if time allows.
Arrange the oven-baked pork steaks in a single layer with a little space between them. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork steaks from the oven and allow them to rest for at least 3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Optional Marinating: The pork steaks can go straight into the oven when I need a 30-minute meal. When time allows, I marinate them for 30 minutes so the seasoning has longer to develop.

Account for Thickness: Pork steaks vary in thickness, so begin checking them at 20 minutes and rely on their internal temperature rather than time alone.

Check the Seasoning: Store-bought pork seasoning may already contain salt. Check the label before adding the separate salt to prevent overseasoning.

Allow a Short Rest: Leave the pork untouched for at least 3 minutes after baking. This helps retain its juices while completing the recommended resting period.
