Elevate your Whole30 meal plan with this savory baked pork steak recipe—an easy and flavorful dish that's perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions. Featuring tender pork steaks seasoned with a robust blend of garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, and oregano, this recipe delivers bold, comforting flavors that are sure to impress. Each steak is first seared to lock in the seasoning, then baked in chicken broth for ultimate juiciness. With just 15 minutes of prep and a quick 40-minute bake, this gluten-free and dairy-free pork dish pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or crisp salads for a balanced Whole30-approved meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Rub each pork steak with olive oil, then evenly coat them with the spice mixture on both sides.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown. This helps to lock in the flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat, and pour the chicken broth around the steaks (not directly on top of them to keep the spices intact).
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) and the meat is tender.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and allow the pork to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the savory baked pork steaks with your favorite Whole30 sides such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
