Pork Steak and Squash

Grilled to perfection pork steak and yellow crookneck squash is a summertime favorite of my family! This is another recipe that is best grilled over a hardwood bed of coals instead charcoal. Both the pork steak and squash tend to take on the taste of lighter fluid if you use charcoal. 

4 pork steaks

2 large crookneck squash, planked.

Pork Steak Marinade

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon red cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

In a large zipper freezer bag, combine all ingredients and the raw pork steak. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, over night is even better!

Squash Rub

1/2 cup olive oil (to brush on squash)

1 teaspoon dry Italian seasoning mix

Salt/pepper to taste

Rinse your steaks and pat dry on paper towel. Salt/pepper to taste, and put on your grill. 

Brush the squash slices with olive oil, sprinkle with the dry rub, and grill on a sheet of aluminum foil. Salt/pepper to taste. 

The garlic pairs very well with the grilled pork taste, and Italian dry rub seasoning gives squash just the right kick of extra flavor without overpowering it's delicate, natural sweetness.
