Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork steaks
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Mirin (sweet rice wine)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the pork is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

While the grill is heating, transfer the leftover marinade to a small saucepan. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then stir it into the marinade.

Step 5

Bring the marinade to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly to create a teriyaki glaze. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Remove the pork steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess liquid. Discard the used marinade.

Step 7

Place the pork steaks on the preheated grill. Cook each side for 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the steaks reaches 145°F.

Step 8

Brush the pork steaks with the prepared teriyaki glaze during the last minute of grilling for a shiny, flavorful coating.

Step 9

Remove the pork steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Serve the pork steaks warm, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Pair with steamed rice and grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
