Pan Fried Pork Steak Recipes

PAN FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.
• Combine the flour and some cayenne, salt and black pepper. Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture, and then set aside on a plate.
• Heat the canola oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add the butter. When the butter is melted and the butter/oil mixture is hot, cook 3 pork chops at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook until the chops are golden brown on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes (make sure no pink juices remain). Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining pork chops.
• Delicious and simple! Serve with smashed new potatoes.

DEEP FRIED PORK STEAK

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep fat fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, garlic powder, seasoned salt, chili powder, cinnamon, coriander, basil, cumin, ground turmeric, paprika, and salt. Place pork steaks in the bag one at a time; seal, and shake to coat.
• One at a time, place pork steak into hot oil, and cook until it turns deep brown and floats. Remove to paper towels. Repeat process with remaining pork steaks.

PAN-FRIED STEAK

Steps:

• Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over high 5 minutes. Generously season steaks with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon butter to pan, then immediately top with one steak. Repeat with remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter and steak. Cook without moving steaks until a golden brown crust forms, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook 2 minutes more for rare, or 3 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice steaks against the grain; serve with sauce, if desired.
• Heat a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat. Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper. Seconds before adding a steak, drop 1/2 teaspoon of the butter into the pan and immediately top with the steak. Repeat with the remaining steak. Sear for 3 minutes without moving the steak (to form a crust). Turn and cook for 2 minutes for rare or 3 to 4 for medium rare. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a board or platter for a few minutes before serving.

THICK-CUT FRIED PORK STEAKS

Steps:

• Mix bread crumbs and flour together in a resealable plastic bag. Place eggs in another bag.
• Place pork steaks in the bag with egg mixture and toss. Transfer 1 steak into the bag with the bread crumbs mixture and toss to coat.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add coated steak to the hot oil. Coat the next steak with the bread crumbs and add to the skillet. Fry until browned on both sides, about 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Repeat with the remaining pork steak.

PORK STEAK AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Season both sides of pork steaks with salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste.
• Spray electric fry pan or very large skillet with cooking spray.
