Description
A simple recipe for tender, flavorful pork shoulder steaks marinated in a sweet soy mixture, 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
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, minced garlic, and black pepper to create 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 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit) or preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove steaks from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- For grilling: Place steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- For baking: Place steaks on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For grilling, use hickory or apple wood chips for added smoke flavor common in Midwest cookouts.
- You can substitute honey for brown sugar if desired, adjusting the amount to taste.
- Serve these steaks with coleslaw and baked beans for a classic summer meal.
