Gochujang Pork Shoulder Steaks

These vibrant gochujang pork shoulder steaks bring the bold, fermented flavours of Korean cuisine to the dinner table. By using pork shoulder, the meat remains succulent and tender throughout the high-heat cooking process, providing a satisfying texture that stands up well to the spicy and slightly sweet marinade. The combination of garlic, fresh ginger, and hot pepper paste creates a deep umami profile that works beautifully when charred on a hot grill.

This diabetes-friendly main course is an excellent option for those looking for high-protein meals with punchy seasonings rather than heavy sauces. The marinade can be prepared up to twenty-four hours in advance, making it a practical choice for a midweek supper or a weekend barbecue. Serve the sliced pork alongside steamed greens or a crisp radish salad for a balanced, nutritious meal.

How to make Gochujang Pork Shoulder Steaks

Purée garlic, ginger, sake, gochujang, mirin, and 60ml oil in a blender. Set 60ml marinade aside; chill. Transfer remaining marinade to a large dish. Add pork; turn to coat. Chill, turning occasionally, at least 2 hours.

Prepare grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Remove pork from marinade and grill, basting with reserved marinade, turning occasionally, and moving pork to a cooler area if flare-up occurs, until cooked to desired doneness, 8-10 minutes for medium-rare.

Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.

Do ahead: Pork can be marinated 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
