Make juicy, flavorful pork shoulder steaks with this simple sweet soy and garlic marinade. Perfect for summer grilling or an easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork shoulder steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, vegetable oil, and black pepper to create the pork steak marinade.
  2. Place the pork steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a 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. Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F) or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates or line a baking sheet with foil.
  5. Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
  6. For grilling: Place the steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  7. For baking: Place the steaks on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  8. Remove the pork steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This is a great easy pork dinner option.

Notes

  • For the best grilled pork steaks, avoid pressing down on them while cooking; this releases the juices.
  • If you do not have shoulder steaks, this sweet soy pork steak marinade works well with boneless loin chops too.
  • Serve these with classic Midwest sides like creamy coleslaw or baked beans.
