Make juicy, flavorful pork shoulder steaks using a simple sweet soy and garlic marinade, perfect for summer grilling or easy oven 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 ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and onion powder to create the pork steak marinade.
  2. Place the pork shoulder steaks in a large, resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the sweet soy pork steak flavors develop.
  4. If grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit). Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. If baking: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the marinated steaks on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. Let the grilled pork steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For the best results when grilling, wipe off excess marinade before placing the meat on the grates to prevent excessive flare-ups.
  • The safe internal temperature for pork is 145 degrees Fahrenheit followed by a three-minute rest. This ensures a juicy, safe result.
  • This recipe works well with budget-friendly pork shoulder steaks, often called blade steaks.
