Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork steaks
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to create your spice rub.
Pat the pork steaks dry with paper towels and place them on a clean surface.
Drizzle the pork steaks with olive oil to lightly coat both sides, then rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork steaks, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the seasoned pork steaks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
Optional: In the final 5 minutes of baking, brush the pork steaks with barbecue sauce for an added layer of flavor.
Remove the pork steaks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the spicy baked pork steaks hot, with your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
