Tips
My two big pointers for cooking pork steak, or any meat products:
1. Don’t cheap out!! Spend some extra money and get some local and/or reputable pasture-raised meat, it makes all the difference (a few options below)
2. Pre-salt ya meat - let it hang out in the fridge overnight so it absorbs the sodium, it will give you a crisper sear
Meat temp: Minimum around 150-155 degrees Let it rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking
