Pork steaks and taters on open fire

Cooking pork steaks and taters over an open fire is an experience that combines flavor and adventure. To begin, select high-quality pork steaks, ideally from a butcher, ensuring the meat is well-marbled for added juiciness. Preparation is key, so marinate the pork in your favorite spices or a simple mix of olive oil, garlic, and herbs prior to grilling. This enhances the flavor while tenderizing the meat. For the taters, choose firm potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes. Cut them into wedges or cubes, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and wrap in aluminum foil. Place them near the embers to cook evenly while the pork cooks above. It's important to monitor the temperature; aim for a hot fire that produces even heat. As the pork cooks, turn it occasionally and check the internal temperature to avoid overcooking—145°F is recommended for pork. Once everything is cooked to perfection, let the pork rest for a few minutes before serving to retain juices. Enjoy this delicious meal with friends, making your outdoor cooking unforgettable!
