A pork chop is cut from the loin where a pork steak is cut from the shoulder. Pork Chops are a bit leaner than the pork steak and cook a bit quicker, making this a great weeknight option. The pork steak has a lot of marbling which lends itself to a juicier steak. Both options are great and I would recommend cooking with whichever cut of meat you have on hand, or according to your personal preference.
