Be sure to season the steaks on both sides before you continue. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Wait until the butter begins to bubble and cook.

My best tips for perfect pork loin steaks
- Flip them only once when the underside has begun to brown.
- Use a spatula instead of pressing down on the steaks. The steaks will be dried out, and all juices removed.
- Add the steaks to the pan and season them well.
- Refrain from overcrowding your pan. Be sure to give each steak enough space to breathe.
- Use enough butter. Use butter only. Do not use oil or cooking spray.
- When the juices are clear and not red, then you know that your steaks are cooked. Pork loin steaks are available in two different cooking methods: medium-rare (slightly pinked meat) or well-done (completely whitened). The more you cook the heart, the tougher it will be.
- You can prevent your steaks from drying up by adding a small amount of butter to the top as they rest.
