Description
Prepare juicy pork shoulder steaks using a simple sweet soy marinade, suitable for grilling or baking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pork shoulder steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and black pepper to make the marinade.
- Place the pork steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Refrigerate and marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for best flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F) or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- If grilling: Remove steaks from marinade, discard excess liquid. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- If baking: Place steaks on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Remove steaks from heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For grilling, lightly oil the grates before placing the steaks down to prevent sticking.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade before adding the raw meat, and brush this reserved liquid onto the steaks during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Good side dishes include creamy coleslaw or baked beans.
