Instructions
Marinating the Steaks
- 1In a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped fresh herbs.
- 2Add the pork loin steaks to the marinade, ensuring each steak is well-coated. If using a bag, seal it and gently massage the marinade into the meat.
- 3Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let the steaks marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
Grilling the Steaks
- 1Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- 2Remove the pork steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.
- 3Place the steaks on the hot grill. Grill for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.
- 4Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before serving.
