Seasonings

We use our steak dry rub on almost everything, you could use it on all parts of the pig too. It is sweet and savory with a little kick to it. This time a bottled seasonings was used to make things super easy peasy.

We like to add some Italian seasoning on the outside, that works well for an already done mix in a jar And to add flavor use garlic salt or onion salt works as well If you wanted simple salt and pepper, a bit of garlic powder, onion powder, and/or smoked paprika go for it.

How Long to Cook Pork Steak in Air Fryer

There is a range for these or any cuts of meat of course because like with 2 inch thick pork chops vs. thin the thickness will make them take longer or less time. We like using medium pieces as seen here which are 8-10 minutes to maintain a juicy interior.

as you would with bone in pork chops or pork shoulder steak you always need to check with instant read thermometer inside thickest part of steak to ensure they reach 145 F before consuming.

How do you cook pork steaks without drying them out?

You don't want to overcook them. Yes of course you need to ensure the thickest part reaches the correct meat internal temperature but beyond that pull it off quickly once it does. Also, once it is at 145 degrees F let it rest, covered, for a good 10 minutes before slicing.

Setting the temperature a bit lower will help keep boneless pork chops it moist too. These cook at an even 350 F vs. 400 degrees that many other tougher meats are set to. Different than air fryer steak you do want a little crisp on the outside, but not so much that it makes the insides tough. Low and slow……

Marinated

If you wanted to marinate this pork steaks recipe first for a few hours that would work too. Then pat dry, add seasonings and continue on with the directions below. We typically only do this if we are cooking smoked pork steaks so it doesn't crisp at all.

You can adjust how crispy the outside is for any protein cooked this way. To make it more golden brown you need to spray the tops with some olive oil spray. Do this about 2 minutes before it is supposed to be done so you don't overcook and dry them out.

Five uncooked, seasoned pork steaks are placed in an air fryer basket, ready for cooking. The meat is covered with a mixture of herbs and spices.

You could serve these with Ninja Foodi rice

How long is leftover cooked pork good for?

If you package it well and keep it in the fridge it will keep for a good 3 days. Make sure you wrap each piece in plastic wrap and slide them into a freezer bag. Suck all the air out and these techniques will keep each piece as moist as possible. Reheat in microwave for 60 seconds, slice and make your pork steak recipe into tacos.

We have used leftovers in a casserole too which is a great one pot meal complete with pasta and all. We hate to waste food so we use what is on it's last leg in all sorts of things. Diced it can be thrown into a batch of fried rice too.

If you want to use your oven to bake these babies, with our dry rub give our baked pork chops recipe a whirl. It gets 5 stars from everyone who makes them and many say they'll never cook them any other way again.
