Equipment
Ingredients
For the Pork Rub:
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon mustard powder
For the Pork:
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 pork steaks 6-8 ounces each, around 1 inch thick
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix the rub. Combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and mustard powder in a bowl. Set it aside.
- Prepare the pork. Pat dry the pork with paper towels. Season the pork steaks with salt and pepper to taste, then season them on all sides with the prepared pork rub.
- Heat the skillet. Heat the cooking oil in a cast iron skillet set over medium-high heat.
- Cook the pork. Add the steaks to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature of the steaks registers at 165˚F.
- Rest. Remove the pork steaks from the skillet and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Hot skillet. For this recipe, you need a sizzling hot pan. This is a key step to achieving a caramelized crust on top.
- Room temperature pork. Make sure your steak is at room temperature before cooking so it can cook evenly.
- Use your favorite seasoning. For a different flavor profile, you can use Montreal steak seasoning or Mediterranean steak seasoning.
