Juicy, versatile and quick to cook, pork steaks are a weeknight favourite. Boneless and evenly cut, they take on a gorgeous golden crust in a hot pan, under the grill or on the BBQ, while staying tender inside. Keep it classic with salt, pepper and a knob of butter, or brush with garlic, mustard and herbs. For extra succulence, give them a short brine and let them rest before serving.

FAQs
Leg or loin—what’s the difference? Loin cooks a touch faster and lean; leg brings classic pork flavour and stays juicy.
Do they need marinating? Not essential—salt, pepper and high heat are enough. Mustard, garlic and herbs are great if you fancy.
Can pork be slightly pink? Aim for ~63–65°C and rest—juicy with a faint blush is normal. Cook longer if you prefer well done.
How do I stop them drying out? Don’t overcook; consider a quick brine and always rest before slicing.
