Recipe for Schwankbraten

My fiancee was stationed in Germany and he ate this dish and just loved it and would love for me to make it if I can ever find a recipe for it.

I came here knowing that everyone has such wonderful recipes that maybe someone knows of this German dish..

Thanks

 INGREDIENTS  

          10 onions, cut into wedges
          1 cup vegetable oil
          4 cloves garlic, crushed
          7 dried juniper berries, crushed
          1 tablespoon German stone ground mustard
          1 tablespoon dried thyme
          1 tablespoon dried oregano
          1 tablespoon paprika
          1 tablespoon curry powder
          1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
          1 tablespoon ground black pepper
          8 (8 ounce) boneless pork loin chops
     

     DIRECTIONS

    1      Place the onion wedges in a bowl. Use a large spoon to gently press the onions until they release some of their juices. Combine the oil, garlic, juniper berries, mustard, thyme, oregano, paprika, curry powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper with the onions and mix to combine.
    2      Arrange the steaks in a large baking pan. Pour the marinade evenly over top of the pork. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
    3      Remove pork from marinade and allow to come to room temperature as you preheat the grill. Wrap the onions separately with foil to create a pouch. Discard marinade.
    4      Preheat grill for medium heat.
    5      Grill the pork steaks and onions until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes per side.

Pork Steaks

Traditionally these pork steaks are cooked on a swinging grill over beechwood coals. It is very hard to find beechwood here in the United States, so I am told that oak is an acceptable substitute.

4 pounds boneless pork roast ( boneless pork loin would work well)
 1 cup oil
 10 onions, cut into strips
 4 cloves garlic, crushed
 7 crushed juniper berries
 1 tablespoon german mustard
 Thyme, Oregano, Curry, Paprika, Cayenne Pepper and Black
 Pepper*

Cut the Pork Roast into about 8 slices. Place your onions into a bowl and pound them slightly to release their wonderful flavor. Add the remaining ingredients (oil, garlic, juniper berries, mustard and spices) and mix well.
 Place a pork roast steak into a dish and then cover with some of the onion mixture, being sure to mash the onions into the meat; add another pork roast steak and more onion mixture. Continue until all of the pork roast steaks have been covered with the onion mixture. Marinate for at least
 24 hours, covered, in the refrigerator.

When ready to grill, remove the pork roast steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature. In the meantime, prepare your fire. The wood should be brought to hot coals. Oil your grill surface before placing the meat onto the grill. Grill the pork roast steaks and onions slowly over the hot coals for 10-15 minutes on each side (depending on how you like the steaks).

Serve with Kartoffelsalat, Tomaten Salat and Baguette (or Brotchen, if you can find some).
