  • About 40 minutes before serving, prepare grill or preheat broiler. Arrange steaks on grill or in broiler pan. Grill 15 minutes, brushing with marinade once.
  • Meanwhile, place pineapple slices in pan of marinade, turning to coat both sides. Place pan on grill while steaks are cooking to heat pineapple slices. If in broiler, heat pineapple on top of steaks during last 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Turn steaks and grill 15 minutes more, spooning remaining marinade over steaks once, until meat is thoroughly cooked and fork-tender. Serve a hot pineapple slice with each pork steak.
