Quick Recipes Pork Budget Recipes Grilling Recipes Meat Dishes

I like to prepare grilled meats for lunch. I marinate the meat the evening before, and during my lunch break I rush home and prepare the meal in 10 minutes. I put the steaks on the grill and while they cook, I make a mixed salad or, more recently, use marinated vegetables.

Ingredients

4 pork neck steaks (about 2 cm thick; 160g each)
1/4 lime

Marinade

2 tablespoons adobo seasoning
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1-2 dried hot peppers (optional)
3 garlic cloves
4 tablespoons oil
50ml water
1 tablespoon vinegar

How to prepare grilled pork neck steaks

Prepare the marinade: If you opted for a spicy marinade and want to add the hot pepper (with or without seeds), you need to toast it in a dry pan without any oil. Toast it until the skin starts to brown and you see smoke coming from the pan.
Put the adobo, paprika, and toasted hot pepper in a spice grinder and grind well.
Add the crushed garlic, oil, water, and vinegar to the spice mixture and stir.
Put the meat in the marinade, making sure each slice is covered, and let it marinate between 4 hours and 1 day in the refrigerator.
Heat the grill pan (without any oil) over high heat for 3-5 minutes. It needs to be super hot!
Place the meat on the grill and cook for 3 minutes on each side.
Remove to a plate and let it rest for 3 minutes.
Serve and remember to pour over the juices left by the meat on the plate, mixed with 1 teaspoon of lime juice. As a side dish: a simple mixed salad.
