Ingredients
- 2 Tbs. canola oil
- ½ C. citrus juice (a blend of orange, lemon and lime works well together.)
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 Tbs. minced rosemary
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper
Instructions
- Begin by making the marinade.
- Whisk together the canola oil, citrus juice, garlic, fresh herbs, salt and pepper in a medium to large sized bowl to combine together.
- Then, place the pork steaks gently into the marinade, turning them over to evenly coat them with the mixture.
- Next you will want to cover the bowl with either a lid or tin foil and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes.
- This is a step that cannot be rushed, so you always want to ensure you have plenty of time set aside for the process.
- After that, you should preheat the grill on high heat (about 450 degrees F) ten minutes prior to use.
- This step can be done while the meat is covered in the fridge.
- Next, take the steaks out of the marinade and discard the marinade, it is no longer needed for the recipe.
- Grill the steaks on one side over the high heat for about 3 minutes.
- Then, turn the steaks over to the other side and grill for an additional 3 minutes or until the internal temperature registers 145 degrees F.
- This step is where a digital thermometer comes in handy.
- Charts can be used as well, but for beginner grillers, it is best to be certain to make sure the steaks are safe to consume.
- Simply insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the steak without touching any of the bone.
- The last part is easy; transfer the pork steaks to a clean platter or serving dish and allow to rest for four to five minutes prior to serving.
- It is that simple! These delicious pork steaks are now ready to eat with your favorite side dishes.
