Instructions

Prepare the meat: Pat your pork steaks dry if needed, then smear a generous portion of yellow mustard over the meat as a binder to grab the seasoning. Then season well with the BBQ rub on both sides.
Smoking the Steaks: Preheat the smoker to 250°F and cook the steaks directly on the upper grate for one hour (or indirect heat). Flip at the 30-minute mark. Cook at this temperature 1 hour (or until the pork steaks reach 140°F).
Prepare Basting Sauce: At the end of the hour, whisk together melted butter, apple juice, and Worcestershire in a small bowl.
Raise Smoker Temperature: Once the steaks have reached 140°F, increase the temperature of the smoker to 300°F and generously baste your steaks with the basting sauce and flip them. Repeat every 15 minutes until the steak temperature reaches 165°F (about 30 minutes), then place the pork steaks on direct heat (closer to the heat source).
Finish Cooking: Continue cooking until the pork steaks reach at least 185°F.

Notes

Keep a watch on temperature - like cooking all meats, you do not want them to overcook, so they do not dry out.
Prep the meat ahead of time if needed - You can season and place them back in the fridge for several hours before cooking.
Optimal Tenderness - You will want the pork steaks to reach at least 185° F (this is how I like them), but if you let them continue to cook until 200°F, they will be even more tender.
Can't find pork steaks at your grocery store - No problem, you can ask your butcher, and they will cut them for you.

Refrigeration: You can keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Freezing: Cooked pork steaks can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Reheating: For best results, reheat in a 350°F oven. You can microwave, but it might dry out the meat.
