I noticed with pork steaks it's not always consistent. Take these same schweinesteaks and cook them over a fire (on a suspended grate) and you now have "Schwenkbraten" (swinging steaks).
That's the exception to the rule. 
Usually "Braten" means "roast".
Thanks for the clarification and the lesson!
Go back to the top and look at the title now. 
My Dad used to speak some German when I was a kid, so I picked up a little, but I'd love to speak it fluently since most of my ancestry is from Germany.
