Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork butt steaks (also called “pork steak,” “pork shoulder steak,” or “pork blade steaks”), about ¾ inch thick (8 ounces each)
- olive oil
- 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or thyme
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat lightly with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Allow the pork to sit on the counter and come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Rub a light coating of olive oil onto both sides of the pork steaks.
- In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, basil, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the steaks, massaging it into the meat.
- Heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches so that you don’t overcrowd the pan, sear the steaks just until they develop a nice brown color, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Transfer the steaks to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the pork steaks for 10-15 minutes, or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F. For more color and a crispier finish, place the pork steaks under the broiler for the final 1-2 minutes. Tent loosely with foil and let the pork rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Searing the pork in a skillet adds color, flavor, and texture to the outside of the meat. That said, this step is optional! You can place the pork steaks directly in the oven and just bake them for a little bit longer if you prefer.
- Thanks to all of the fat and marbling, these steaks won't dry out if you cook them to a higher temperature, so feel free to let them go longer if you want them more broken down (like pulled pork).
