A simple recipe for budget-friendly 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

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, minced garlic, 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. If grilling: Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350-400 degrees F). Remove steaks from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
  5. If baking: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Place steaks in a baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
  6. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, baste the steaks with leftover marinade during the last few minutes of cooking, but discard any marinade that touched raw meat after the initial marination period.
  • Pork shoulder steaks are best cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F followed by a 3-minute rest.
  • Serve with coleslaw or baked beans for a classic cookout meal.
