Smoked Pork Steaks

Step 1

Preheat. Preheat your smoker to 275 degrees F with your favorite hardwood. A combination of hickory and any fruit wood (like apple or cherry) works great with pork steaks.

Step 2

Prep the pork steaks. Wipe both sides of the pork steaks with a paper towel to remove any bone fragments from processing.

Step 3

Season. Slather all sides of the pork steaks with a thin layer of yellow mustard. Season evenly with Sweet Rub.

Step 4

Smoke. Place the seasoned pork steaks directly on the grill grates, close the lid, and smoke for 2 hours.

Step 5

Braise. Place the pork steaks in an aluminum pan and cover with Everything BBQ Sauce and butter before sealing the pan with aluminum foil. Return the covered pan to the smoker, close the lid, and braise for an additional 1-2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the pork steaks reads 195-200 degrees F.

Step 6

Sear. (Optional, but awesome step). Either increase the heat on the grill you’re using to 450 degrees F or start up a charcoal or gas grill and get that temp up to 450 degrees F. Carefully remove the pork steaks from the pan and place them on the hot grill. Cook the pork steaks over high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, basting with the pan drippings, until you achieve some nice char and caramelization on the outside of the pork steaks.

Step 7

Remove from the grill, rest for at least 10-15 minutes, and serve.
