Hi gang,
Dinners are sounding yummy. Pork seems to be the meat of choice tonight. I had pork also.
I made grilled pork shoulder steaks, salad and buttered egg noodles with parsley, garlic salt and paprika. It was good for a nice change of pace. Easy and quick recipe that requires little prep time. Husband had beer to drink. Killian's Red which was the same as in the marinade for the pork. I opted for a glass of red.
Egg noodles that were well buttered and given a light sprinkling of garlic salt, parsley and paprika.
Simple and fresh green salad. Just lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and a little green onion and parmesan cheese. Dressing was a lemon juice and olive oil with some basil in it. No need to add salt as the parmesan was salty enough and hit all the right notes in that regards.
Hot off the grill and just resting. Evening beverage choices.
Dinner is served. It was quite tasty. Only thing I could have thought of adding was perhaps some sauteed onions to serve on top of the pork. And since this was 'Eastern European' fare, pierogies would make a nice side also.
Karen....your visit with friends sounds wonderful. Good for you for getting out and socializing safely and responsibly.
I am glad you had a good day, got out and changed the scenery plus came back with peaches to boot!
What are your plans for them?
Grilled (or Pan Fried) Pork Shoulder Steaks
INGREDIENTS:
1.5 lbs of pork shoulder blade steaks (about 4 small or 2 large)
1/2 Tablespoons cooking oil IF pan frying; if grilling then omit
salt and pepper for seasoning
Marinade:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup flavorful lager/beer
1/2 Tablespoon garlic powder
2 cloves garlic; minced
1/2 Tablespoon cumin
1/2 Tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or 3-4 sprigs of fresh
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.) Mix the marinade ingredients and generously coat the pork steaks. Make sure they are covered by the marinade. Refrigerate minimum of 2 hours to overnight.
2.) Let steaks come to room temp. Heat grill to medium-high (400 F for gas/ 375 F for charcoal).
3.) Discard the marinade. Grill steaks 5-8 minutes per side depending on thickness. Season with salt and pepper before you flip them and once again before you remove them from grill. Check for internal temperature of the pork to be 150-160 F. Juices should run clear.
4.) Let steaks rest. Tent loosely with foil for 3- 5 minutes before serving.
Have a good night all
