Ingredients for Grilled Pork Skirt Steak- 300g Pork Skirt Steak
- 1 Onion
- 2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 2 Tbsp Mirin (or Sake)
- 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, it’s essential to remove excess blood from the pork skirt steak. Gently press the meat with paper towels to absorb any blood. This step helps eliminate any gamey odor, especially important for cuts intended for grilling.
Step 2
If there’s any tough connective tissue or excess fat remaining, trim it away with kitchen scissors. This ensures a more pleasant texture when cooked.
Step 3
Grate the onion using a fine grater. Then, strain the grated onion through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to extract only the juice. Onion juice adds a natural sweetness and helps tenderize the meat.
Step 4
Place the minced garlic in a sieve and press it with the back of a spoon to extract the garlic juice. Using garlic juice allows the garlic flavor to infuse without leaving noticeable bits in the marinade.
Step 5
Add 2 tablespoons of mirin (or sake) to the marinade. Mirin helps to tenderize the meat and adds a subtle sweetness while also reducing any pork odor.
Step 6
Next, add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce for a rich, savory flavor.
Step 7
Combine the prepared onion juice, garlic juice, mirin, and soy sauce in a bowl. Mix them well with a spoon to create a flavorful marinade.
Step 8
Add the trimmed pork skirt steak to the marinade. Make sure to coat the meat thoroughly, ensuring every piece is covered in the delicious marinade.
Step 9
Sprinkle about 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper over the meat. Pepper enhances the savory notes of the pork. Feel free to adjust the amount or omit it if you prefer.
Step 10
Gently mix the marinated pork skirt steak with your hands to ensure the marinade is evenly distributed. This thorough mixing helps the flavors penetrate deeply into the meat.
Step 11
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let the marinated pork skirt steak rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This marinating time allows the meat to become tender and absorb the flavors beautifully. You’ll notice the color change to a more appealing hue! (See the picture – it looks delicious already! ^^)
Step 12
Now, let’s grill the marinated pork skirt steak. Preheat a frying pan over medium-low heat. Once the pan is warm, carefully place the marinated meat onto it. You’ll see the meat start to shrink slightly as it cooks. Immediately reduce the heat to low. Cooking over low heat prevents the outside from burning before the inside is cooked through.
Step 13
Once one side is golden brown and cooked, carefully flip the meat using tongs to cook the other side until it’s also golden brown and thoroughly cooked.
Step 14
By cooking gently over low heat, you’ll achieve perfectly grilled pork skirt steak that’s beautifully browned and incredibly juicy. It’s a simple process for a delightful result!
Step 15
Cut the grilled pork skirt steak into bite-sized pieces and arrange them attractively on a serving plate. Your homemade marinated grilled pork skirt steak is now ready to be enjoyed!
