Ingredients for Asian Pork Steaks Marinade

  • 1-1.5 lbs pork steaks
  • Teriyaki Marinade
  • Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • Green Onion

How to Make Asian Pork Steaks Marinade

  1. In a large resealable freezer bag or casserole dish, whisk together 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  2. Add 1-1.5 lbs of pork steaks to the bag or dish. Ensure the pork is fully coated in the marinade. Marinate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor. (Note: When marinating in a zippered bag, you only need half the sauce.)
  3. **For Frying:** Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated pork steaks and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  4. **For Broiling:** Preheat your broiler. Place the marinated pork steaks on a broiler pan and broil for 20 minutes, then flip and broil for another 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
