To cook, begin by patting the pork loin steaks dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a good sear. Season generously with salt and pepper, or your favorite herbs and spices. Heat a tablespoon of oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for about 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until golden brown and cooked through. Alternatively, they can be grilled over medium heat for a similar amount of time, ensuring they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
