I call this dish “Saucy Steak” or a “Canadian Saucy Steak” and it’s really good too! It’s basically a Montreal Seasoned Pork Steak or Pork Chops, Beef Steaks can be used too. With two contrasting Sauces (Red & White) served with the Meat. The Red Sauce hits high with its acidity and pronounced flavor. While the White sauce offers a lower tone to the overall dish. When paired with Montreal Steak, Seasoned Meat. You got something that is really Special & Saucy.

Steaks

These are made up the exact same way as my recipe Montreal Pork Chops. Using either Beef or Pork. If using beef, adjust the times to get the internal temperature sought for.

Any cut of Pork will work bone in or boneless. Use anywhere from 1/4 inch to 1 inch. Although the thickness of your meat will determine if it should just be seared, finished in the oven, or just oven baked until done or reversed seared.

Brush your choice of meat with Oil and sprinkle on Montreal Steak Spice. Refrigerate it for at least one hour, so the seasoning can rehydrate. Remove from the fridge at least 30 minutes before you plan on cooking to bring the meat up close to room temp.

You can also just leave it overnight and take it out to rest to come to room temperature the next day while you prepare everything.

Pork Chop vs Pork Steak

The difference between Pork Chops and Pork Steaks is what part of the animal it is. Pork Chops are generally taken from the Loin section and are more lean. While Pork Steaks are taken from the Shoulder section and contain much more marbling of fat.

Montreal Steak Spice

This is a blend originating from Montreal, Quebec, Canada and is used to season both Pork & Beef. It’s an excellent blend and used here to season the meat.

Red Saucy Steak Sauce

The Red Sauce hits high with its acidity and pronounced Flavor. It’s a Tangy Smoky Ketchup based Sauce that is really good on Steaks or Pork Chops as well as Hash Browns and Burgers or just as a dip for Fries.

This sauce is spread out on a plate with the Pork Chop placed on top. Just combine the ingredients and you’re good to go.

White Saucy Steak Sauce

The Saucy White Sauce contrasts the Red Saucy Steak and is a Mayo based Sauce that is spread on top of the Steak. This sauce is also good on Burgers or a dip for Fries. In fact, both of the Sauces can be used on a Burger for a Saucy Steak Burger.

Combine the ingredients, cover and refrigerate until needed. Spread on the Meat after it has rested 5 minutes.

How to make Saucy Steak

First prepare both sauces, cover and refrigerate until needed.

There are many ways you can cook the meat. In all cases, you want the pork internal temperature to be 145 For higher.

• Sear until done – good for 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch
• Sear for 3 minutes per side and finish in the oven – good for 3/4 inch to 1 inch
• Cook in the oven until done – good for 3/4 inch to 1 inch
• Reverse Sear – good for 3/4 inch to 1 inch

Depending on the Thickness of your Steaks as well as if they are Beef or Pork, the cook times will vary. Typically, with 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch, you can just sear until the desired doneness. You can with 3/4 inch as well. Although even for 3/4 inch to 1 inch, I really much prefer cooking in the oven or reverse searing.

How to Reverse Sear Pork Chops

Place 3/4 – 1 inch Bone in Pork Chops into a preheated oven at 300 F until the internal temperature is 10 – 15 minutes shy of the targeted internal temperature. For me, I find 1 inch Pork Chops baked for 30 minutes is ideal.

Heat a skillet up about 8–10 minutes before you anticipate the Pork Chops coming out of the oven, so the pan is nice and hot with a bit of Fat (high smoke point or rendered fat) as soon as the Pork Chops come out of the oven.

Sear the Pork Chops over medium heat for 3 minutes per side. Remove and let rest 5 minutes before plating and serving.

Saucy Steak Sides

Serve this dish up with some Air Fryer Fries or Hash Browns. A Greek Salad is really nice too, and the Sweetness that comes from it pairs up well with everything else.
