Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Red chili paste
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Place the pork steaks on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine red chili paste, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the marinade.
Place the pork steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the pork steaks for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor. For a quick version, marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the pork steaks from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and place them in the hot pan. Reserve the remaining marinade.
Sear the pork steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), about 3-5 more minutes per side.
While the pork steaks are cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Once cooked, transfer the pork steaks to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to redistribute the juices.
Drizzle the thickened marinade over the pork steaks and sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.
For additional heat, garnish with a pinch of red chili flakes, if desired. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
