We love grilling pork steaks for a quick and easy dinner. Pork steaks are easy to pick up on special at the grocery store. If we find a deal on a pork shoulder , we will pick one up for sandwiches, homemade sausage and sometimes we slice off a few pork steaks.

How to Grill Smoky Coca-Cola Pork Steaks:
- Pat pork steaks dry with paper towels and allow to come to room temperature while you prepare the grill.
- Prepare a grill fire to about 350° with hickory for smoke flavor.
- Make the Smoky Coca-Cola Glaze: In a saucepan, combine Coca-Cola, brown sugar, garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, pepper, chili flakes and cornstarch. Whisk to combine and cook over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until sauce thickens. Remove from heat to cool.
- Remove 1/2 cup of glaze and brush pork steaks with glaze on both sides.
- Place pork steaks over direct heat to sear for about 5 minutes. Flip pork steaks and move to indirect heat. Cook with the lid closed about 10 minutes.
- Brush Smoky Coca-Cola glaze over pork steaks and flip, brush the other side and continue to cook until internal temperature reaches at least 145° with a digital thermometer. We cooked our pork steaks to about 150°.
- Remove from grill and allow to rest 10 minutes before serving.
We served our pork steaks with bean and barley salad and simple potato cakes. Grilled Corn on the Cob or Grilled Zucchini would also be delicious along side of grilled pork.
How to Store and Reheat:
Store leftover pork steaks wrapped in plastic wrap in refrigerator up to 4 days.
Slice pork steaks and reheat in a skillet with additional Coca-Cola glaze or 2 tablespoons of water, covered over medium heat. Cook for about 5-8 minutes or until heated through.
The Smoky Coca-Cola glaze can be made in advance. Keep in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
