Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork steaks
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to create your spice rub.

Step 3

Pat the pork steaks dry with paper towels and place them on a clean surface.

Step 4

Drizzle the pork steaks with olive oil to lightly coat both sides, then rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork steaks, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 5

Place the seasoned pork steaks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Optional: In the final 5 minutes of baking, brush the pork steaks with barbecue sauce for an added layer of flavor.

Step 8

Remove the pork steaks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Serve the spicy baked pork steaks hot, with your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
