    Pork Steaks on the Grill

    Something that truly surprised me when I moved to Florida was just how many people I met who said they hated pork! After questioning, I learned that most people know pork as dry, tough, chewy meat.

    I’m here to say that nothing could be further from the truth. Cooked properly, pork is juicy, tender, melt-in-your-mouth and oh-so full of flavor! And where I live, it’s regularly sold at incredible bargain prices for huge amounts of meat. It’s the perfect weeknight dinner!

    Ready to fall in love with pork? Then it’s time to fire up the grill, and try out my mouthwatering marinated pork steaks BBQ! You won’t miss the beef with this easy, delicious recipe!

    Grilling Pork Steaks

    1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest, microwaving it briefly if the honey doesn’t dissolve. Add in the salt, pepper, and minced garlic, then set aside ¼ cup of the marinade. Pour the rest in a zip-lock bag.

    2. Add the pork steaks to the bag, squeezing it around until they’re well coated. Set in the fridge to marinate overnight, or on the counter to marinate for at least 1 hour (but never over 2!).

    4. Sear for 2 minutes, then flip and baste with the reserved marinade. Repeat every 2 minutes until the steaks have cooked for a total of 10-12 minutes, or reach an internal temperature of 145°F.

    Pork Steak Temp

    Pork is infamous for being overcooked! If you’ve only ever known pork to be tough and dry, overcooking is the culprit. The secret is knowing how long to cook pork steak!

    As with all steaks that you want crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the secret is the cooking time. Pork should always be cooked to a minimum of 145°F, and be taken off the heat as soon as it hits temperature.

    Make sure to use an internal meat thermometer and refer to my Pork Temperature Chart.

    Pork Steak Tips

    • A grill pan works great for this pork steaks recipe, so don’t feel limited to only making them on an outdoor grill!
    • You can use a gas grill or a charcoal grill if you’re grilling outside – either works.
    • Boneless and bone-in shoulder blade steaks both work great for this recipe! If you can’t find boneless but don’t like cooking bone-in, just carefully cut the bone out of the steak before cooking it.
    • In my area, shoulder blade steaks regularly go on incredible sales. I recommend storing a few in the freezer!
    • If you’re marinating these steaks at room temperature, make absolutely sure not to let them marinate for over two hours. This can start propagating bacteria that make the food unsafe to eat.
    • Slice the meat extra thin. This ensures incredibly tender, juicy meat that you won’t believe is pork!

    Pork Steak BBQ FAQ

    Should pork steaks be cooked fast or slow?

    Unlike larger cuts of pork like pork butt, pork shoulder steaks should be cooked quickly and over high heat. This gives the pork a beautiful, crisp crust and brings the center only just to temperature, leaving it juicy and tender.

    How do you cook pork steaks so they are not tough?

    To ensure deliciously tender pork steaks, first let the steaks come to room temperature before cooking them. Marinating will help, as well! Then make sure to cook them over high heat for a short time, and remove them as soon as they hit 145°F. Let the steaks rest and cut them thin for the most tender pork you’ve ever tried!

    How long should you cook pork steaks for?

    Over medium-high heat, pork steaks take about 10 minutes to get a good sear and reach temperature. However, it’s a good idea to check the internal temperature regularly to ensure they don’t overcook.

    How do you know when pork steaks are done?

    Pork is done cooking when it reaches 145°F! A meat thermometer is by far the best way to check when pork steaks are done cooking. If you don’t have a meat thermometer, check the meat to make sure it’s not too pink around the bone and that the juices are running clear.

    Notes

    • A grill pan works great for this recipe, so don’t feel limited to only making these grilled pork steaks in the summer!
    • Boneless and bone-in shoulder blade steaks both work great for this recipe! If you can’t find boneless but don’t like cooking bone-in, just carefully cut the bone out of the steak before cooking them.
    • In my area, shoulder blade steaks regularly go on incredible sales. I recommend storing a few in the freezer!
