We both loved this. Super simple and a great way to fix pork steaks, which can be less than tender if not done properly. I made the recipe exactly as posted, except to reduce portions for just the two of us. Also, I applied the dry rub several hours before baking with excellent results.

Tasty simple recipe! Because I was pan frying the steaks I cut back on the BBQ sauce and put in on for the final cooking stages. The rub is excellent - I rubbed that on the steaks early in the day . Thanks Scott for a keeper

I omitted the smoking and the sauce steps, and using only the rub and the BBQ these were just fine.
