Baked Pork Steak Dinner – How to Cook Pork Steak in the Oven

Baked Pork Steak dinner is a simple yet delicious oven baked pork steak recipe with carrots, potatoes, cream of chicken soup and tomato soup. Follow these easy instructions for how to cook pork steak in the oven.

I love pork steak, especially thin pork steak. During the summer, I almost always put dry pork steak rub on it (like this one), and then grill it to perfection. But, it’s cold, miserable, grey winter right now, and this time of year I bake my thin pork steak in the oven.

Essentially, bone-in pork steak is very similar to pork chops. Any baked pork chop recipe can be used for pork steak, just sub in one for the other.

Pork Steak Casserole

Baking thin pork steaks in the oven works best when assembled into a casserole. The juices from the pork steak remain intact, resulting in a juicy oven baked pork steak.

I love that this recipe is an entire meal in one dish – pork steak, potatoes and carrots, all baked in a tasty sauce.

What’s even better is that the sauce only contains 2 ingredients – cream of chicken soup and tomato soup.

Oven Baked Pork Steak and Potatoes

I’ve truly taken inspiration from my mom for this particular oven baked pork steak and potato recipe. Mom made something similar all the time growing up using pork chops and cream of mushroom soup.  Find Mom’s Smothered Pork Chop Recipe here.

Here’s the scenario. I had just gotten home from church, and I had approximately an hour and a half until my oldest would be home from practice and when the whole family would be starving.

I had a couple recipes in mind, but I was missing a key ingredient for every meal.

Looking in the fridge, I saw a package of pork steak thawing, and in the cabinet, I spied a can of cream of chicken soup and a can of condensed tomato soup.

I also had three potatoes and a handful of carrots to use up. The challenge was on.

Quickly, I seasoned the pork steaks with salt and pepper, and browned them in oil, just like Mom does. Next, I peeled the potatoes and carrots, and sliced in uniform pieces.

I arranged the pork in the bottom of a casserole dish and arranged the sliced potatoes and carrots over top.  Then I mixed together the cream of chicken and tomato soup to make a sauce. I smothered the top of the casserole with the sauce, covered with foil and baked.

Once all the vegetables were fork-tender, I removed the foil and broiled for a few minutes to reduce the sauce.

The result of this oven baked pork steak dinner was fantastic. My kids gobbled it up, and it’s now a part of our regular meal rotation.

Notes About Baked Pork Steak Dinner with Potatoes:

• Use more pork steaks, potatoes and carrots for bigger family or less for a small family.
• Pork chops could be swapped in for pork steak.
• The browning step could be omitted, if desired.
• Use all potatoes or all carrots instead of a combination, if desired.
• Substitute cream of mushroom or cream of celery for cream of chicken, if needed.
• Check the doneness of the vegetables by sticking with a fork or knife.
• Don’t walk away from the oven during the broiling step. The sugar in the tomato soup could burn if you leave it too long.
• Let the oven baked pork steak casserole sit for 5-10 minutes before eating.
