How to Make Smoked Pork Steak

• Step 1 – Place the pork steaks on a baking sheet and season both sides with the salt.  Refrigerate for 2 hours to brine the pork steaks. 

• Step 2 – Remove the pork from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature (30-50 minutes).  Preheat the oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. 

• Step 3 – Rub the yellow mustard onto both sides of the pork steaks.  

• Step 4 – Mix together the rub ingredients and season both sides of the pork steaks evenly with the rub mixture. 

• Step 5 – Place the pork steaks in the smoker directly on the grill grates.  Smoke for approximately 2 hours with lid closed.

• Step 6 – Brush both sides of the pork steak with barbecue sauce.  Smoke for 15 minutes.  Flip and brush the pork steaks with the BBQ rub again.  Smoke for 30 more minutes until the pork steaks reach an internal temperature of 185 degrees Fahrenheit.  

• Step 7 – Remove from the smoker and let the pork rest for 10-15 minutes.  Then it’s ready to serve and enjoy!  

Expert Tips

• Choosing Pork Steaks – A pork steak is a pork butt sliced into 1/2-¾ inch thick slices.  Your butcher should be able to prepare these for you. 
• Wood Chips – We smoke the pork steaks in different types of wood chips. You can use pecan, oak and hickory or a combination of both for added flavor.
• Seasoning – Make sure to not skip the step with refrigerating the pork steaks with the salt. As this helps with the texture and flavor of the steaks.
• Room Temperature – Allow the steaks to come to room temperature before adding the mustard and dry rub.
