Not to brag, but these grilled pork steaks might just be the best you've ever had. They're packed with sweet, smoky flavor, incredibly juicy, and couldn't be easier to cook. Whether you're firing up a pellet grill, charcoal, or gas grill, this recipe is guaranteed to be a crowd favorite. Let's get to it.
The secret to incredible pork steaks starts before they ever hit the grill. A simple prep makes all the difference.
Pat the pork steaks dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick and gives you a better bark. Spread a thin layer of yellow mustard over both sides of each steak. Don't worry, you won't taste the mustard. It's simply there to help the rub adhere.
Now season generously with Honey Killer Bee. These steaks are thick, so don't be shy with the seasoning. Let them rest at room temperature while you get the grill fired up.
Set your grill up for two-zone cooking. You want one side running hot for direct heat and the other side sitting around 300°F (149°C) for indirect cooking.
Starting indirect allows the pork to cook evenly while building a beautiful crust before finishing over the fire.
Place the pork steaks on the indirect side of the grill and close the lid. After about 5 minutes, give them a light spritz with apple juice. This helps keep the surface moist while building incredible color.
Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches around 155°F (68°C).
Once they hit that mark, move the steaks directly over the flame. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side until you get gorgeous caramelized edges and deep grill marks.
During the final 5 minutes, move the steaks back over indirect heat and brush both sides with your favorite BBQ sauce. Let the sauce tack up until it's glossy and sticky without burning.
Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), then pull them off the grill.
As soon as the pork comes off the grill, top each steak with a small pat of butter and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
Slice across the grain and take a look at that juicy interior. The meat should bend before it breaks—that's how you know you nailed it.
