Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Water or low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, black pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
Pat the pork steaks dry with paper towels to ensure they brown evenly.
Brush the pork steaks on both sides with olive oil.
Rub the mixed spices onto each pork steak, ensuring an even coating.
Place the seasoned pork steaks in a baking dish large enough to lay them in a single layer.
Pour the lemon juice over the pork steaks, then add the water or low sodium chicken broth around the steaks.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the pork steaks moist during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue to bake for another 15 minutes, or until the pork steaks are tender and start to brown slightly on top.
Let the pork steaks rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and aroma.
