Make juicy, flavorful pork shoulder steaks with this simple sweet soy and brown sugar marinade. This recipe works great 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
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a 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 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 350-400 degrees F) or preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  5. Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
  6. For grilling: Place steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
  7. For baking: Place steaks on a baking sheet. Bake for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
  8. Remove the grilled or baked pork steaks from the heat. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For the juiciest results when grilling pork steaks, aim for an internal temperature of 145 degrees F followed by a 3-minute rest.
  • This sweet soy pork steak marinade pairs well with simple sides like coleslaw or baked beans for a classic Midwest cookout feel.
  • If you do not have shoulder steaks, you can use thick-cut boneless loin chops with similar results.
