Slice the two large onions nice and thin and place them in a bowl.

Cut the pork neck into steaks about two fingers wide, aiming for four steaks from the 1.5 kg of meat.

Season the pork neck steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Season the sliced onions with plenty of salt and black pepper to help release their juices.

Using your hands, crush and squeeze the seasoned onions to release their juices, creating a marinade.

In a rectangular plastic container, layer the ingredients: start with a layer of onions, then a layer of pork neck steaks, followed by another layer of onions, repeating until all ingredients are used.

Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and let it marinate in the fridge for 24 hours.

Prepare the grill, ensuring the height is about one to two inches above the flames for cooking.

Grill the marinated pork neck steaks, flipping them to achieve a nice sear on both sides, managing the heat by adjusting the grill height as needed.

Once cooked, let the steaks rest for a few minutes before serving.
