Written to make 4 servings, this is a great recipe for your family dinner! Additionally, you could double the recipe to have some leftovers or to serve more people!
Preheat & Season
- Preheat. Preheat your cleaned and oiled grill to medium heat (350-400°F or 177-205°C). Combine ½ tablespoon of salt, ½ tablespoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and then set it aside for later.
- Prepare steaks. In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons of water. Next, brush the mixture over your 2 pounds of pork steaks and then season generously with the seasoning blend. Flip and repeat on the other side.
Grill, Rest & Serve Your Pork Steaks
- Cook. Place your pork steaks on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, then flip and grill for another 8-10 minutes on the opposite side. After that, flip as needed to finish with a perfect caramelized sear and your desired level of doneness (with the internal temperature checked at the thickest part of the pork steaks - *see note).
- Rest. Finally, transfer your pork steaks to a plate or cutting board and loosely cover them with foil. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Add on a side of roasted potatoes and sauteed asparagus for a delicious, well-rounded meal! These grilled pork steaks also taste fantastic with a side of roasted vegetables or twice-baked potatoes. Enjoy!
💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes
- The USDA considers pork safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). At this internal temperature, your pork steaks will be juicy and slightly pink in the middle. You may cook your pork steaks up to 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
- Keep in mind, that after you remove your pork steaks from the grill they will continue to cook another 5°F (also known as 'carryover cooking').
- Resting is important! Your grilled pork steaks will lose juices after being removed from the grill. Resting gives them time to reabsorb them so your meat stays nice and tender.
🥡 Storing & Reheating
Leftover grilled pork steaks should be refrigerated in an airtight container and enjoyed within 3-4 days.
Once cooled, place leftovers in a heavy-duty freezer bag or an airtight container and keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. (Remove as much air as possible from the freezer bag as it will lessen the likelihood of freezer burn- which pork is particularly prone to).
Reheating Grilled Pork Steaks
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Add the pork steaks to a baking dish with a few tablespoons of broth or water. Cover them with foil and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated all the way through.
❓ What Temperature Do You Grill Pork Steaks At?
Grill your pork steaks over medium heat (350-400°F or 177-205°C). If you cook the pork steaks over high heat, it will dry them out.
❓ How Long Do You Grill Pork Steaks?
You should grill your pork steaks for 8-10 minutes, flip, and then grill for another 8-10 minutes on the opposite side. After this, continue to grill and flip until you have reached your desired doneness. The amount of time this takes depends on how well-done you want your pork to be!
❓ How Often Do You Flip Pork Steaks On The Grill?
Once your pork steaks are cooked and you are just trying to achieve the perfect caramelization and the desired doneness, flip the steaks every 5 minutes until it is cooked to your liking.

Excellent! I didn’t have any paprika, but noted that Lawry’s Seasoned Salt has all the ingredients in it, so used that instead. Just had to add pepper. Served with corn on the cob
