Smoky Grilled Pork Steaks with "Magic Dust"

This high-protein dish elevates the humble pork steak into a summer masterpiece, featuring a complex layering of flavours. The process begins with a signature 'magic dust' spice rub—a punchy blend of paprika, cumin, and cayenne—followed by a rich, homemade apple and bacon-infused glaze. Slow-marinating the meat overnight ensures every bite is deeply seasoned, while the addition of applewood chips on the grill provides that authentic, smoky barbecue finish.

Ideal for those seeking a satisfying, protein-rich meal, these smoky grilled pork steaks are perfect for weekend entertaining or a gourmet garden cookout. The balance of tart green apple and savoury Worcestershire sauce cuts through the richness of the pork beautifully. Serve these succulent sliced steaks alongside a fresh green salad or classic slaw for a balanced and impressive homemade dinner.
