Make juicy, budget-friendly pork shoulder steaks with a simple sweet soy and garlic marinade. This recipe works well for grilling in the summer or baking for an easy weeknight dinner.

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
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, vegetable oil, black pepper, and onion powder to create the pork steak 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 the pork steaks for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
  4. If grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove 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 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place steaks on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. Let the grilled or baked pork steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a Midwest-style cookout, serve these grilled pork steaks with creamy coleslaw and baked beans.
  • The safe internal temperature for pork is 145 degrees Fahrenheit followed by a 3-minute rest.
  • If you do not have shoulder steaks, you can use thick-cut boneless pork chops.
