Pork Steak

• Pork steaks are excellent for grilling. Marinating them beforehand enhances their flavor and helps to tenderize the meat. Grill over medium heat, ensuring they are cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
• Pork steaks are often braised, which involves searing them first and then simmering them in a liquid (like broth or wine) until they become fall-apart tender. This method is great for tougher cuts.
• Pork steaks can be smoked low and slow similar to barbecue. Season the steaks with your favorite barbecue rub and smoke at a low temperature for several hours until tender.
• Pork steaks can be pan-fried. Season the steaks and sear them in a hot pan with oil or butter, flipping occasionally, until cooked through and browned. This is a quick and easy way to cook pork steaks.
• Pork steaks can be added to stews. Cut the steak into smaller pieces and add them to your favorite stew recipe for added flavor and protein.
• Pork steaks are delicious when cooked sous vide. Seal the steaks in a bag with seasonings and cook them in a water bath at a precise temperature for several hours, then sear them for a crispy exterior.

• Rich in protein, essential for muscle building and repair.
• Good source of B vitamins, important for energy metabolism and nerve function.
• Contains iron, which helps prevent iron deficiency anemia and supports healthy red blood cell production.
• Provides zinc, an essential mineral for immune function and wound healing.
• Offers a source of selenium, an antioxidant that protects cells from damage.

Pork steak should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out and to avoid cross-contamination. Properly stored, raw pork steak can last for 3-5 days in the refrigerator. For longer storage, freeze the pork steak. Wrap it tightly in freezer wrap or place it in a freezer-safe bag, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Frozen pork steak can maintain good quality for several months.
