If you are tired of chicken, get a pork loin and cut it up into 2 inches steaks.

You can stuff it with garlic, mushrooms, cheeses, anything you want to.

one pork loin as a roast
cook at 350 degrees F for 1 hour

makes slits in it and stuff the slits with garlic cloves.

Now you can cook these steaks on your foreman grill.
So you can add onions and barbecue sauce too.

I like to "blacken" the steaks with herbs and spices before grilling.

It's a nice change from chicken

Of course you would not want to replace the chicken with pork in great quantities because of the saturated fat.
It is just a nice variation of taste for the grill from time to time.
