This recipe captures the essence of a Portuguese summer cookout with thin pork steaks marinated in a classic 'vinha d'alhos' mixture. The combination of dry white wine, garlic, and smoked paprika tenderizes the meat while delivering a punch of savory flavor.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white wine, crushed garlic, smoked paprika, broken bay leaves, piri-piri sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Place the thin pork steaks into a shallow dish or ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring every piece is coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, though overnight is best for maximum tenderness.
Preheat an outdoor grill or a stove-top grill pan to medium-high heat.
Remove the pork from the marinade, shaking off excess liquid, and brush the meat lightly with the olive oil.
Grill the steaks for 3 to 4 minutes per side until they develop a nice char and are cooked through.
Transfer to a platter and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over the meat.
