How do you cook pork steaks on a grill?

Ingredients:

- Pork steaks (about 1 inch thick)

- Salt and pepper

- Olive oil

- Desired seasonings (e.g., garlic powder, paprika, cumin, oregano)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). If using a charcoal grill, let the coals heat up until they are ashed over.

2. Season the pork steaks: Pat the pork steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the steaks with salt, pepper, and any desired seasonings.

3. Oil the grill grate: Brush the grill grate with olive oil to prevent the pork steaks from sticking.

4. Place the pork steaks on the grill: Carefully place the pork steaks on the preheated grill grate. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.

5. Baste the pork steaks (optional): While the pork steaks are cooking, you can baste them with olive oil or a sauce of your choice. This helps keep them moist and flavorful.

6. Let the pork steaks rest: Once the pork steaks are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.

Tips for perfectly grilled pork steaks:

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork steaks are cooked to the desired doneness. This is especially important for pork, as undercooked pork can be unsafe to eat.

- To avoid flare-ups, trim any excess fat from the pork steaks before grilling.

- If your grill has a lid, close it while cooking the pork steaks. This helps circulate the heat and cook the meat more evenly.

- Experiment with different marinades or rubs to add extra flavor to your pork steaks.
