  • salt and pepper
  • garlic powder (optional)
  • ground coriander (optional)
  • Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • 1 cup water

Preparation

Step 1

I loved the way they were tender and juicy inside and caramelized on the outside, just like when you grill. I removed the foil and brushed them liberally with barbecue sauce and returned them to the oven and baked them for 10 to 15 minutes. They were absolutely finger licking good. I served them with my

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place pork steaks on a sheet pan and sprinkle liberally all the seasons listed above. Cover them with plastic wrap and let them set for an hour in the refrigerator to marinate with the seasoning. Set them out for 30 minutes before baking them.

Arrange the pork steaks on top of a rack and place the rack on a deep sheet pan to catch all the fat drippings. Pour water and liquid smoke in the bottom of the broiler pan and lay the rack on top. Cover the rack and the broiler pan together with foil.

Bake them for 45-55 minutes. Remove them from the oven. Remove them from the rack and lay them on a platter. Remove the rack and set aside. Pour off all but 1/2 cup of the pan drippings.

Place the pork steaks back in the pan with the pan drippings and brush liberally with barbecue sauce. Place them back in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the barbecue sauce has thicken and caramelized on the pork steaks.

You may use any additional seasonings to your taste. You can use more or less of the liquid smoke. You can marinate with the seasonings longer even overnight. How long you bake them may vary depending on the size and fat content of the steaks. Mine took 45 minutes.
