Serves
4-6
  • 3 or 4 pork shoulder blade steaks, 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick (3 1/2 to 4 pounds total)
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup garlic, peeled, smashed and slightly chopped
  • 5 teaspoons lemon zest, grated
  • 5 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 5 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons black pepper, cracked
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon Italian parsley, chopped
Methods/steps

Combine wine, garlic, lemon peel and 3 tablespoons juice, 3 tablespoons capers, mustard, 2 teaspoons cracked pepper and 1 teaspoon salt in small bowl.

Place pork in single layer in 2 1/2 gallon resealable plastic bag or large glass baking dish. Pour wine mixture over pork. If using bag, close bag to seal. Turn bag or pork over in dish to coat with wine marinade. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or in refrigerator for up to 1 hour,

Preheat gas grill to medium-high heat for direct grilling. Remove steaks from marinade, brushing off any large pieces and reserving marinade. Transfer marinade to small sauce pan. Bring to boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 minute; remove from heat.

Grill steaks, uncovered, for 6 to 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, turning steaks over halfway during grilling and brushing occasionally with reserved marinade. Transfer steaks to carving board. Loosely cover with foil; let rest for 5 minutes.

Remove foil. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Top with remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, parsley and remaining 1 tablespoon capers. Cut into serving pieces before serving.
