Smoky Dry Rubbed Pork Steaks Food

SMOKY DRY-RUBBED PORK STEAKS

Steps:

• Toast fennel seeds in a dry small skillet over medium-low heat, tossing occasionally, until nutty and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and coarsely chop, then transfer to a small bowl. Add brown sugar, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and mustard powder. Zest lemon and orange (reserve zested lemon and orange), add zest to bowl, and toss to combine. Rub pork all over with dry rub, pressing to adhere as much as possible to the surface. Place steaks on a wire rack set over a sheet pan and chill at least 3 hours and up to 24.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Thoroughly pat dry pork steaks. Heat a large ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over high until smoking. Drizzle steaks with oil and rub to cover all surfaces. Working in batches if needed, sear steaks on all sides until deeply browned and lightly charred, 4-5 minutes per side. (Keep a good eye on them; they'll take on color relatively fast because of the sugar.) Transfer steaks to a plate. Reserve skillet.
• Wipe out any accumulated dry brine and juices from sheet pan, then place steaks back on rack set over sheet pan. Return skillet to high heat. Halve reserved lemon and orange and sear (cut side down) until charred; set aside.
• Transfer steaks to oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 140°F, 30-40 minutes. (Start checking after the first 30 minutes; the time will vary based on the shape and size of your steaks.) Transfer to a cutting board and let steaks rest 10 minutes. Thinly slice on a diagonal, transfer to a platter, and squeeze charred citrus halves over.

SMOKED RIBS WITH DRY RUB

Steps:

• Soak apple wood smoking chips in water, about 15 minutes. Set up a grill for indirect cooking over medium heat (leave one side with no heat source). Drain the wood chips. If using a gas grill, put the chips in a smoker box and place over the heat source; if using a charcoal grill, place the wet chips directly on top of the coals.
• Make the rub: Combine 1/4 cup salt, 2 tablespoons pepper, the garlic powder, oregano, celery seeds, paprika, chili powder and ancho chile powder in a bowl. Set aside about one-third of the mixture for sprinkling on the ribs when finished.
• Make the ribs: Combine the vinegar, lemon juice and 1/4 cup water in a spritzer bottle. This will be used for basting, which will keep the ribs moist and tender and help the rub stick.
• Rub the ribs all over with the remaining dry rub, then put them on the cooler side of the grill (not over direct heat; you want the ribs to cook low and slow). Cover and cook 2 hours and 30 minutes, spraying the ribs with the vinegar mixture two or three times throughout the cooking. When the ribs are just about done, give them a final spray and sprinkle liberally with the reserved dry rub so the finished ribs are coated with all that delicious flavor.

GRILLED DRY-RUBBED PORK

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Cook the bacon in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned and crisp, 5 minutes. Add the scallion whites. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and softened, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in 2 cups water, the peas, collard greens, barbecue sauce, mustard and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and the peas are tender, 20 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper; keep warm over low heat.
• Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar, the paprika, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the pork chops all over with the spice mixture.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the pork until marked and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve the peas on the side, topped with the scallion greens.
