Method

30 minutes before marinating pat any excess moisture away and leave to breathe at room temperature.
For the marinade take one teaspoon each of turmeric, smoked paprika, chilli flakes, sea salt, ground ginger, tomato puree, plus 2 tablespoons of groundnut oil and 2 teaspoons of dark muscavoda sugar. Mix these ingredients together to a paste.
Brush the marinade on the steaks liberally on both sides, then cover and chill overnight.
30 minutes before cooking take the steaks out of the fridge, leaving the steaks to come to room temperature. Rub away all excess marinade and cook over burning coals or on a very hot griddle pan.
To get the best results we want the sugars to carmelize, to enhance the natural smokiness of the pork. These steaks should take no more than 4 to 5 minutes each side. After they're done leave to rest for a few moments while you make finishing touches to the rest of the meal.
This marinade can be used on most cuts of pork. Try on the tenderloin or simple pork T-bone, for similarly tasty results. Personally I like to eat marinated pork rib eye steaks alongside a seasonal salad, with a glass of IPA. Perfect for Summer evenings.
