    My butcher did it for me after I visited St Louis and first even heard of them.  Cut them about 1.5" bone in and they were fabulous!!!

    They are incredible. Do it. Just grill to well done or they will be tough. I use a little sauce but you don't need to. They are also amazing sous vide if you cook that way. Chef steps has a great recipe for SV Shouder steaks. If Mickey were on here he would give you a giant hug right now. He loves shoulder steaks

    I've never cut them myself, but pork (shoulder) steaks are readily found we're I'm at. I wouldn't serve them to company, but they're one of my favs and dirt cheap as well.

    Absolutely brother. 

    If so, can you give me some advice? Thanks!!

    Question for you. Are you asking for advice on how to cut them into steaks or how to cook the steaks? Or both?

    It's easier seeing it done rather than reading someone's written instructions. With that said, here is a half a$$ video showing how to steak with a knife and a saw. You can alter the thickness to your liking (go thicker or thinner). Hope it helps my friend.

    The actuall temp varies with thickness. Simply cook them until tender. This usually involves cooking them "very well done". More often than not, up into the very high 190's. If extremely thick, it can be into the low 200's. 
    Again, it varies somewhat from thin to thick.

    For those who have never had Pork steaks, this is an incredible marinade for them. 

    A word of caution, on marinate them about 30 minutes. You want to pick up a hint of the Dales, not overpower them. I use this as a marinade on Red Hots as well. Its outstanding on Pork steak when used sparingly. However as I said above, it can quickly become overpowering if you are not careful.

    St Louis Pork Steaks are a favorite, many ways to do them.  Sear, braise.  Braise, sear.  Cook's Country seared, braised, seared.  They take some time to cook.

    Schnuck's, a grocery store out of St Louis, started running shoulders on the band saw, rest is history.
    They are really great, so tender when braised in Maull's and Bud.



    Al Pastor is a favorite too.
