Interesting!

Have you tried Pork Loin? Not the littler Pork Tender Loin but the
full on (less expensive) cut? We have the butcher cut a whole one to
1inch thick 'steaks'. You get between 17 and 22 of them and while I've
never tried grilling them, I fry-pan them after marinade in soy,
worstershire, and usually a bit of vinegar and hot-sweet 'chicken
sauce' (think Mae Ploy for that one but there are many brands).

I use a cast iron pan and much less time than you, but you may prefer
pork with no pink or red.
