Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 450°F. Pat pork steaks dry with paper towels, then score the skin in a crosshatch pattern.

  2. Step 2

    Toss potatoes, peppers, and onions with 2 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper on a large sheet pan.

  3. Step 3

    Push vegetables to the edges, then lay pork steaks skin-side up in the center. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Roast for 18–20 minutes until pork reaches 145°F at the thickest point and skin is golden and crackling.

  5. Step 5

    Pour apple cider into the pan around (not over) the pork, scatter herbs, and roast 2 more minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Rest pork 3 minutes, then serve with roasted vegetables and pan drippings spooned over.
