How to Cook Pork Steak on the Grill

- Step 5 – Brush with BBQ Sauce – Brush both sides of the pork steak with barbecue sauce. Then cook for 5-6 more minutes per side until the sauce is caramelized. Cook the steaks reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees.
- Step 6 – Remove Steak from Grill – Remove the steak from the grill. Cover them with foil and let them rest for 10-15 minutes. The pork steaks should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 7 – Serve and enjoy – Then the pork steaks are ready to serve and enjoy. I love to season with salt and pepper before serving.
Recipe Tips
- Preparing Steaks – Prepare the steaks by drying the steaks and then season the steaks with seasoning mixture. Make sure they are at room temperature before grilling.
- Grill – Preheat the grill and oil the grill grates to prevent the steaks from sticking. We recommend on heating the grill on medium heat instead of high heat. Cooking steaks on high heat could possibly dry the steaks out.
- Rest Steaks – After grilling the steaks allow the steaks to rest before slicing.
- Instant-Read Thermometer – Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the steak before removing from the grill.
How Long do you Grill Pork Steaks
The length of time you grill the steaks is how done you prefer them. We recommend grilling the steaks for about 20 minutes on each side. Then brush with BBQ sauce and continue cooking.
This allows the steaks to get a caramelized texture after finish cooking.
We recommend using a meat thermometer to check internal temperature of the steak. The steak should be cooked to be about 145 degrees.
