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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork shoulder steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon 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 large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor. Do not marinate longer than 8 hours due to the soy sauce.
  4. If grilling: Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F). Lightly oil the grates. Remove steaks from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  5. If baking: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. Place steaks on the sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  6. Remove the pork steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For the best grilled pork steaks, use a two-zone fire setup on your grill to manage flare-ups caused by the sugar in the marinade.
  • The safe internal temperature for pork is 145°F followed by a 3-minute rest. This ensures juicy results.
  • Serve these sweet soy pork steaks with creamy mashed potatoes or a simple coleslaw for a classic Midwest cookout meal.
