   • Rest the seasoned steaks in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

2. Smoke the Pork:

   • Prepare your smoker with a mix of mesquite and hickory wood chunks.
   • Smoke the pork steaks in the smoker at around 250°F (120°C) for at least 1 hour. Turn the steaks once or twice during smoking.
   • Add more wood chunks as needed to maintain a steady smoke.

3. Roast in the Oven:

   • After smoking, transfer the smoked pork steaks to a roasting pan.
   • Brush half of the barbecue sauce over the steaks.
   • Cover the roasting pan with foil and roast in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 90 minutes.

4. Finish on the Grill:

   • Preheat a medium-heat charcoal or gas grill.
   • Remove the pork steaks from the oven and brush them with another light coating of barbecue sauce.
   • Grill the steaks, turning and brushing with more barbecue sauce as needed, until they develop a caramelized, dark crust, usually about 10-15 minutes.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once cooked to your liking, remove the BBQ Pork Steaks from the grill.
   • Serve hot and enjoy the tender, smoky flavors!

Additional Tips:
