Steps

  • 1

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 180°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke, if available.

    180 ˚F / 82 ˚C

  • 2

    Slather the pork steaks on all sides with the mustard and season with Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub (the mustard will keep the pork moist, but the flavor is unnoticeable once cooked).

  • 3

    Arrange the steaks directly on the grill grates. Insert the probe horizontally into the thickest part of a steak, avoiding the bone. Close the lid and smoke for 1 1/2 hours.

    Transfer the pork steaks to a plate and increase the Traeger temperature to 225°F. Preheat for 5-10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, wrap each steak in aluminum foil, adding 2 tablespoons of apple juice to each foil packet before sealing.

  • 6

    Return the steaks to the grill. Close the lid and cook for another 45 minutes. Unwrap the pork steaks from the foil, place directly on the grill grates, and reinsert the probe. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 160°F, about 15 minutes more.

    Brush the steaks on both sides with the Traeger 'Que BBQ Sauce, then remove from the grill. Let the steaks rest for 3 minutes before serving with more BBQ Sauce alongside. Enjoy!
