Marinated Pork Steaks with Whole Green Onions [barbecue]
Comments: One surely cannot eat spoonfuls hoisin sauce, but thinned with vinegar or soy sauce for example, it is full of different tastes and proudly shows its nice ruby clolor.
These pork steaks are excellent served along with any steamed tender-crisp green vegetable such as Chinese cabbage leaves, and boiled drained brown rice.
This marinade can also be used to marinate beef sirloin or round tip steaks, or served as a sauce along with barbecued Asian-style ribs.
