A simple recipe for juicy pork shoulder steaks marinated in a sweet soy and brown sugar 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
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, vegetable oil, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Place the pork steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F) or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Remove steaks from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
  6. For grilling: Place steaks on the oiled grill grates. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  7. For 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.
  8. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For best flavor, marinate the pork steaks for 8 to 12 hours.
  • Pork shoulder steaks are budget-friendly but benefit from longer marinating times to tenderize.
  • Serve with coleslaw or baked beans for a classic cookout meal.
