It is a common belief that pork steak needs to be slow-cooked to be tender. That is not the case with today’s recipe, as the ingredients in the marinade will help tenderize the pork perfectly, eliminating the need for lengthy cooking.

FAQs

How long to marinate a pork steak

It is best to keep marinating pork or any cut, such as steak, chops, or tenderloin, to the barest minimum. Ideally, 30 minutes to 2 hours is more than sufficient. However, if you wish to marinate for longer, do not let it exceed 24 hours, as the meat may become too salty and mushy, depending on the type of marinade used.

However, if you use only salt, pepper, paprika, and possibly dried spices, along with no acidic ingredients like vinegar or lemon juice, then you can marinate for a longer period.

Do I need to rest pork before serving?

Yes! Pork needs time to rest so that the juices can redistribute throughout the meat. Cover it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Why is my baked pork not tender?

The most common reason for pork to be tough is overcooking it. always follow the cooking times in the recipe or let the thickness of the pork guide you. if you are using meat that is thin then you should always cook it less than specified in the recipe.

Also, remember that ovens can vary and that is why it is important to use a meat thermometer to check the temperature before you take it out of the oven. The internal temp should be 145°F/63°C, but since the pork will continue to cook as it rests, you may remove it from the oven once it registers 140°F/60°C.

How long to bake pork steak at 365F/180C

Cook between 25 and 35 minutes, depending on the thickness. Usually, this would be a couple of minutes more than the cooking time for pork at 400°F/200°C.

Alternatively, start checking from 15 minutes or until fully cooked and tender, then carefully remove it from the oven. for a safe cooking temperature of 145F/63C, plus 5 minutes of resting under aluminum foil.
