Pork loin steaks with herb butter Recipe

American · Main course · 22 min total

Juicy pork loin steaks topped with a flavorful compound herb butter make for a quick and elegant weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 4 pork loin steaks, about 1 inch thick
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, parsley, chives, thyme, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Mix until well blended. Set aside.
2. Pat pork steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145°F.
4. Remove skillet from heat. Top each steak with a generous dollop of herb butter. Let rest for 3 minutes to allow butter to melt and juices to redistribute.
5. Serve steaks with melted herb butter spooned over the top.

Tips

• For best results, bring pork steaks to room temperature before cooking.
• Leftover herb butter can be rolled in parchment paper and refrigerated for up to a week, or frozen for longer storage.
• Serve with roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
