Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 4 pork steaks
- 6 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
Equipment: You’ll need a griddle pan and a mixing bowl.
The hoisin sauce is the star of the show, giving the pork its signature sticky, sweet Asian flavor. Soy sauce adds the depth, while honey provides the sweetness. Grated ginger and crushed garlic pull everything together with their infusion of spices.
If you can’t find hoisin sauce, you can substitute it with a mixture of soy sauce and plum jam.
How To Make Sticky Hoisin Pork Steak
- First, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, ginger and garlic in a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined to create your sticky hoisin glaze.
- Take your pork steaks and generously apply the glaze. Do it on both sides so the flavour penetrates properly. After that, wrap them up and let them sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours. This will help the flavours mingle and intensify.
- Later, preheat your griddle pan over medium heat. Add the pork steaks and grill each side for 5-6 minutes, or until they’re beautifully caramelized.
- Once cooked, let your pork steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This will make them even juicier. Enjoy!
Tips For The Best Results
