Learn how to marinate budget-friendly pork shoulder steaks in a simple sweet soy mixture for incredibly juicy results, perfect for grilling or baking.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, vegetable oil, ground ginger, and black pepper to create the pork steak marinade.
  2. Place the pork shoulder steaks in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 12 hours, for the best flavor.
  4. If grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees F). Lightly oil the grates. Remove steaks from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
  5. If baking: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with foil. Place the steaks on the sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
  6. Let the grilled or baked pork steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For the juiciest results, use pork shoulder steaks (also called blade steaks).
  • The safe internal temperature for pork is 145 degrees F followed by a 3-minute rest.
  • Serve these easy pork dinner steaks with classic Midwest sides like coleslaw or baked beans.
