In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, salt, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Place the pork steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.
Seal the bag (if using) or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Let the pork steaks marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.
When ready to cook, remove the pork steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or the skillet to prevent sticking.
Cook the pork steaks for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the steaks.
Once cooked, remove the pork steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the marinated pork steaks hot with your favorite sides such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
