Gochujang Pork Shoulder Steaks

Serves4

Ingredients

  • 8 garlic cloves, peeled, crushed
  • 1 2” piece ginger, peeled, sliced
  • ½ cup dry sake
  • ½ cup gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
  • ½ cup mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil, plus more for grilling
  • pound skinless, boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt), sliced ¾” thick

Instructions

  1. Purée garlic, ginger, sake, gochujang, mirin, and ¼ cup oil in a blender. Set ¼ cup marinade aside; chill. Transfer remaining marinade to a large dish. Add pork; turn to coat. Chill, turning occasionally, at least 2 hours.
  2. 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.
  3. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
  4. Do Ahead: Pork can be marinated 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
