• Steps 6-12 are optional and are for meats that I have used for this recipe.
• For pork steaks: Put pork steaks and sauce in a heated skillet.
• Bring to a boil, cover with a lid and turn heat down to medium-low.
• Simmer for 30 minutes or until pork steaks are done and tender.
• Serve with baked potatoes.
• The marinade is really good spooned over the baked potatoes.
• For Chicken: Grill on outside grill or counter top grill, occasionally turning and basting with marinade, until done.
• Serve with Marco Polo Noodles or rice.
• The following steps are optional as well so the 2 ingredients for them are NOT listed in the Ingredients list.
• If you have leftover marinade, and want a gravy, pour it into a sauce pan.
• Bring to a boil, cover with a lid, lower heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes.

• Slowly pour mixture into marinade, stirring or use a wire whisk, until thickened (there may be some leftover cornstarch/water mixture).
• Pour over chicken and Marco Polo noodles or rice.
