Boneless pork loin steaks are so simple to cook. Quick, easy and a perfect, affordable family meal. Marinade them in a tangy, sweet and savoury mix with a hint of spice, grill them up - inside or out - and you will be the star of the evening.
Lesson one-on-one on pork ...
Pork loin is a cut of meat from the pig, created from the tissue alongside the top of the rib cage. It is a popular meat that is usually cut into chops (bone in) or steaks (bone out) as in this recipe. The loin can also be cured to make bacon.
Remember, the longer you marinade the steak, the better the outcome. Also keep an eye on your cooking time as the thicker the loin, the longer the time is needed. You do not want to overcook a thin steak. If in doubt on pork cooking times, always check. You do not want to eat undercooked pork - EVER! Here is a great reference guide if you need one. http://www.porkbeinspired.com/Resources/Images/2924.pdf
