Ingredients
- Pork shoulder steaks
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Remove pork shoulder steaks from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to reach room temperature, which ensures more even cooking.
- Pat the pork shoulder steaks dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve better seasoning adherence and creates a nice sear.
- In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to create a seasoning blend.
- Generously season both sides of the pork shoulder steaks with the spice mixture, ensuring even coverage and pressing the seasonings gently into the meat.
- Preheat the Ninja Foodi Grill to high heat setting (around 450°F) and select the "Grill" function.
- Lightly brush the pork steaks with olive oil to help prevent sticking and enhance browning.
- Place the seasoned pork shoulder steaks on the grill grates, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow proper heat circulation.
- Grill for approximately 6-8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium doneness, using a meat thermometer to check.
- Halfway through cooking, rotate the steaks 45 degrees to create professional crosshatch grill marks.
- Once cooked, remove steaks from the grill and let them rest on a clean cutting board for 5-7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice against the grain and serve hot with your preferred side dishes.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always allow your pork steaks to come to room temperature before grilling to ensure even cooking and maximum tenderness.
- Moisture Management: Pat the meat dry before seasoning to help create a beautiful, crispy exterior that seals in all the delicious juices.
- Seasoning Secrets: Don't be shy with your spice blend - press the seasonings gently into the meat to maximize flavor penetration.
- Grill Master Technique: Create those professional crosshatch grill marks by rotating the steaks 45 degrees halfway through cooking.
- Rest and Relax: Let your steaks rest for 5-7 minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is incredibly moist and flavorful.
- Temperature Check: Use a meat thermometer to ensure your pork reaches the perfect 145°F for medium doneness, guaranteeing both safety and succulence.
