Ingredients:

1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup sugar
4 pork steaks, cut 1 inch thick
1/4 cup olive oil
8 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon dried basil
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

Dissolve the salt and sugar in a large bowl half full of cold water. Place the pork steaks in the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours. Remove the steaks from the brine and pat dry. Brush both sides with the olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, parsley, thyme, basil, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub into the steaks and let them sit for 1 hour at room temperature, or transfer to a sealable container and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
Prepare coals for a medium-hot fire. When the coals are ready, grill the steaks, turning once, until they are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Serve immediately.

Serves 4

It's not customary to cook pork medium-rare as you would a beef steak, but you still want it to be moist and flavorful. A short brining does the trick.
