MARINIERTER SCHWENKBRATEN (MARINATED PORK STEAKS)

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, mix the oil with the garlic, mustard and the rest of the spices. Add the steaks and the onions and turn to coat.
• 2. Layer all the meat and the onions in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for 8 - 24 hours, mixing a few times to redistribute the oil.
• 3. Remove meat from the refrigerator about 1/2 hour before grilling, to take the chill off. Place pork (without onions) in a single layer over direct heat, salt a little and grill for 8-10 minutes on each side.
• 4. Serve with potato salad, dandelion salad, beer, and grilled vegetables.

SCHWEINSTEAK - GRILLED PORK FILETS

AUTHENTIC SCHWENKBRATEN (GERMAN BBQ PORK STEAKS)

Steps:

• Peel and slice the onions finely.
• Peel the garlic cloves and crush them.
• Crush the Juniper berries with a pestle or mortar or use another heavy item.
• Assemble the remaining ingredients( mustard, thyme, oregano, paprika powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper) for the marinade and place them in a large shallow bowl. With a spoon stir the ingredients to achieve a smooth mass.
• Add the pork steaks to the bowl and rub the marinade in. Store the marinated pork chops in an airtight container in the fridge. ( I like to keep them in a zip lock bag, to ensure the pork steaks are fully covered in the marinade.)
• Leave to marinate for at least 24-48 hours. Remove the meat from the fridge at least 1 hour before grilling.
• Oil your grill plate before making the fire.
• With the back of a spoon remove the onions from the pork steaks. You can fry them in a pan on the stove or place them in some foil to cook over the bbq.
• Grill each steak for about 10-15 minutes (exact cooking time depends on the thickness of the steak and the heat of the grill)
• Serve with a side salad and white crusty bread. If you like you can place the cooked onions on top of the steaks.
