Pork Steaks with Herb Butter
Healthy, because
Even smarter
The pork neck steak provides high-quality, muscle-building protein. The essential oils from the shallots and garlic can render pathogens such as bacteria harmless and thus protect against nasty colds, for example.
Since pork neck steaks have a relatively high content of the inflammation-promoting arachidonic acid, they should not be on the menu too often. The steak can also be replaced by beef or a vegetarian alternative.

Place the pork in a dish, cover with the sauce and marinate in the refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Remove the pork from the marinade and pat dry. Cook on a preheated grill until, while turning, cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
