Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork steaks
- 1.5 cups barbecue sauce
- 1 medium (sliced) onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon optional red pepper flakes
- as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Spray the inside of the crock pot with a thin layer of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Season the pork steaks with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika on both sides.
Layer the sliced onion on the bottom of the crock pot to create a flavorful base.
Place the seasoned pork steaks on top of the onion slices in a single layer.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and optional red pepper flakes until well combined.
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture evenly over the pork steaks, ensuring all pieces are fully coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the pork steaks are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully remove the pork steaks from the crock pot and set them on a serving platter.
Optional: If you prefer a thicker barbecue sauce, transfer the sauce from the crock pot to a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until it’s reduced to your desired consistency.
Serve the barbecued pork steaks warm, topped with extra sauce if desired, alongside your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or baked beans.
