Ingredients

• 4 pieces beef or pork steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef or pork steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

Rub the steaks with olive oil, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Set aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and water.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of the tangy sauce across the bottom of a large baking dish. Arrange the steaks in the dish in a single layer.

Step 7

Pour the remaining tangy sauce evenly over the steaks, making sure they are fully coated.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to prevent the steaks from drying out.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the steak. Beef should reach 135°F (medium-rare) to 155°F (medium), while pork should reach 145°F.

Step 10

Once the steaks are cooked through, uncover the dish and broil on high for 3–5 minutes to caramelize the sauce on top. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Step 11

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the steaks rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve the steaks hot, drizzled with extra sauce from the baking dish. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
