Make juicy, budget-friendly pork shoulder steaks using a simple sweet soy and garlic marinade, perfect for summer grilling or oven baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork shoulder steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1/2 cup low sodium 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 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 4 hours, or preferably overnight for best flavor.
  4. If grilling: Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit). Remove steaks from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. If baking: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Place the marinated steaks on the sheet. Bake for 20-25 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 extra flavor, reserve a small amount of the marinade before adding the raw meat, then simmer it on the stove until slightly reduced to use as a finishing sauce.
  • Pork shoulder steaks are a budget-friendly cut; marinating helps tenderize them.
  • Serve these grilled pork steaks with classic Midwest sides like creamy coleslaw or baked beans.
