How to Cook Pork Steak
- Season the Pork Steak: Before cooking, season the pork steak generously with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings or marinades of your choice.
- Bring to Room Temperature: Let the pork steak sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes prior to cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Choose a Cooking Method:
- Grilling: Preheat a grill on high heat. Place the pork steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Pan-searing: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with some oil. Place the pork steaks in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Braising: Brown the pork steaks in a pan and then add liquid (such as broth or wine), cover, and simmer on low heat for a longer period to make them tender.
- Slow-cooking: Place the pork steaks in a slow cooker with your choice of seasonings and liquid. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- Rest and Serve: Let the pork steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve with your favorite sides.
Pork Steaks Recipe FAQs
To avoid tough pork steaks, you can’t overcook them and we highly recommend you use a digital meat thermometer during cooking. Cook them to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and let them rest before cutting. For a more tender texture, you can also slow cook or braise it which breaks down the connective tissues in the meat and makes it super tender.
The choice between cooking pork steaks fast or slow depends on what how you’re trying to cook it. For a seared, grilled flavor, cook them quickly over high heat. For a more tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture, cook them slowly using a method like braising or slow cooking.
There are several ways to tenderize pork steak before cooking:
- Use a marinade: A marinade that contains an acidic ingredient like vinegar or citrus juice can help to tenderize the meat.
- Tenderize: Use a meat mallet to pound the steaks, which breaks down the muscle fibers.
- Use a dry rub: Applying a dry rub with salt can also help to tenderize the meat since the salt alters the protein structure, making it more tender.
Pork steak is also commonly known as Boston butt or pork blade steak. In some regions, it is referred to as a pork shoulder steak.
No, pork steaks are not the same as pork chops. Pork steaks are cut from the shoulder of the pig, whereas pork chops are cut from the loin, which runs from the hip to the shoulder. Pork chops are typically leaner and can be bone-in or boneless, while pork steaks have more marbling and usually come with a bone.

Best Pork Steak Recipe
Cook our creamy pork steak recipe in a skillet with a mushroom and onion sauce. Be sure to check out all recipes for pork steaks in our post for variety in your dinner rotation.
Ingredients
- 1- 1 ¼ lb pork steak, boneless and cut into 2
- 8 oz crimini or button mushrooms, sliced
- ½ large onion, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Sprinkle both sides of the pork steaks with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, sear the pork steak on both sides, which will take about 4 minutes on each side.
- Remove the pork from the skillet and set them aside on a plate, covered with foil to keep them warm.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the sliced onions and mushrooms to the skillet and cook them for 4 minutes or until they start to soften. Add the garlic and cook it for 1 more minute until the garlic is fragrant.
- Sprinkle the mushroom and onion mixture with the salt, pepper, and dried thyme and combine the ingredients together. Add the chicken broth, turn up the heat to medium-high and bring it to a boil. Once it starts to bubble, lower the heat to medium and cook it for 5 minutes until it starts to reduce.
- Add the pork steaks and the heavy whipping cream to the pan and cook it them for about 5 more minutes until the sauce has started to reduce and the pork steaks are cooked through to at least 145 F. The sauce will continue to thicken upon standing. enjoy!
Notes
- We always let our meat sit out 20-30 minutes before cooking to start bringing it to room temperature. This helps the meat to cook more evenly. If you skipped this step the pork could take longer to cook.
- We always sear meat on the stove in a cast iron skillet, it does the best job of getting meat nice and browned.
- We cooked 2 pork steaks in the skillet, but 3 would fit..plus there's plenty of sauce for 3 pork steaks.
