Note
For best results, use fresh grated ginger rather than ground ginger for a brighter flavor.
If you prefer a thicker glaze, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and stir into the remaining marinade. Simmer in a small saucepan until thickened, then brush over the cooked steaks.
Always bring meat to room temperature before cooking to ensure even doneness.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the pork.
