Smoked Pork Steaks with a Dry Rub

If you’ve never made smoked pork steaks before with an amazing dry rub you are missing out on a great dinner! Full of flavor and easy to make.

• We started with these smoked bacon wrapped pork chops and moved to steaks. I honestly hadn’t tried a pork steak recipe before and I am not a steak fan in general. I will have to admit my husband’s pork dry rub recipe it takes it to a whole new level.

They’re part of our electric smoker recipes round up but have been made in a pellet grill too.

This is what our smoked pork steaks looked like when they were done.

You do not need any sauce, the rub has tons of flavor and with the smoke flavor it’s just…..yum!!

If you haven’t tried smoking meats before it is quite easy and you can really do it all year but we do it most during the summertime.

• We have this basic electric smoker and just got this pellet smoker, but this recipe will work for any style you might have.

The only thing you might need to adjust would be the timing. Depending on the size and thickness of your pork steaks it will vary slightly but we’ve made this several times and 90 minutes seems to be quite right to reach the necessary internal temperature for pork and not have it overdone.

I might check after 70 minutes or so if yours are a bit thinner and gage how much longer they might need.

• Allow your smoked pork steaks to rest at least 5 minutes after taking them out. This is important too to lock in the juices before cutting.

Here is a spicier dry rub for pork you could use rather than the one below, both are good.

• Wood chips or pellets for smoker
  • we like using apple for this
• 1/2 c brown sugar
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp powdered sriracha – I found this one which is great since it’s dry
• 1/4 c salt
• Barbecue sauce if you want to make bbq pork steaks

Tips when cooking pork:

• Don’t overcook it, nobody likes dry pork
• Always check the internal temperature before serving. Follow guidelines in meat smoker printable below.
• Place directly on your grill grate to get nice marks on the outsides
• Cook time depends on how thick your pieces are
• After you remove the pork steaks allow them to rest so they stay juicy inside
• Cooking pork in a pressure cooker is a fabulous way to get it tender too

Our next most popular one is this smoked pulled pork though. With the same dry rub as here, it’s out of this world great.
