Shio Koji-Marinated Pork Shoulder Steaks
- Two 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-lb. boneless pork shoulder steaks, cut 1 1/2 inches thick (see Note)
- 1/2 cup shio koji
- Kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons canola oil, preferably cold-pressed
- In a very large resealable plastic bag, coat the pork steaks with the shio koji.
- Seal the bag, pressing out the air.
- Set the bag in a baking dish and refrigerate overnight.
- Let the pork stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Remove the pork from the marinade; scrape off any excess.
- Season the pork with salt.
- In a cast-iron skillet, heat the oil until shimmering.
- Add the pork steaks and cook over moderately high heat, turning once, until lightly charred, 2 minutes per side.
- Cover the skillet and cook over low heat, turning once and wiping the moisture from the bottom of the lid, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the steaks registers 135, 10 minutes.
- Transfer the steaks to a carving board and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice the steaks across the grain and serve.
