over 5 hrs
over 5 hrs
ingredients
4 pork steaks
1 can (6 ounce size) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
directions
Place the pork steaks in a shallow dish.
Combine the lemonade concentrate, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, and garlic powder in a bowl until mixed. Pour over the pork.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.
When ready to cook, heat the grill to medium-high. Remove the pork from the marinade.
Grill the steaks, turning and basting occasionally with the marinade, until the pork is done, about 25 minutes depending on the thickness of the meat.
Serve hot.
recipe tips
Make sure the pork steaks are fully submerged in the marinade for even flavor distribution.
Turn the pork steaks occasionally while marinating.
Discard any unused marinade that has come into contact with raw meat.
Let the pork steaks come to room temperature before grilling.
Keep an eye on the grill to prevent flare-ups and burning.
Rest the pork steaks for a few minutes after grilling for juicier meat.
Serve with sides like grilled vegetables, salad, or potatoes.
Experiment with additional herbs and spices in the marinade.
common recipe questions
Can I use fresh lemonade instead of concentrate?
Fresh lemonade can be used, but the concentrate provides a stronger, more intense flavor.
Is it necessary to marinate the pork overnight?

Yes, you can bake them at 375 degrees F until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
Can I use a different type of meat?
