Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pork shoulder steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, vegetable oil, 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 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- If grilling: Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350-400°F). Remove steaks from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- If baking: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place steaks in a baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, reserve a small amount of marinade before adding the raw meat and brush it onto the steaks during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Pork shoulder steaks benefit from longer marination times.
- Serve with coleslaw or baked beans for a classic cookout meal.
