My take on Pork Steaks

in Pork
Greetings-

In honor of our National Party & the continuing Stanley Cup celebration I did pork steaks & corn. Rubbed with Bad Byron's Butt Rub on one side. Steak are about 1" thick with slices in the fat to avoid curling.

Egg was set up at 300° indirect with platesetter legs up. Started seasoning side up for 1 hr, flipped to seasoning side down for 30 min, then flipped once more & coated with Maull's BBQ sauce, another STL tradition. Corn was placed at the edges of the grill grate to get more of a direct cook for about 30 min. Pulled them off at about 160° internal (I know a little high but remember the continuing Cup celebration? It took precedent for a few minutes.) wrapped in foil until corn was done. Served with caprese salad and a 2009 Wellington Zinfandel.

Kind of pumped about the pink ring, they were darn tasty. Hope everyone had a great 4th, thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Chris

    My wife is from Jeff City, and while dating in college I was fed pork steak for the first time. This TN boy thought her family was backward watching them cook the steaks. That was until I took a bite. 

    We joke that the technique and sauce recipe is the only good thing that we got out of her parents.

    I grew up on Maull’s sauce. Last time I tried to order some, they appeared to be out of business. Did they re open? Awesome cook on the pork steaks!

    I'll bet that the phone call earlier was you inviting me to come enjoy that GREAT looking meal! I was raised in Centralia, MO over between Mexico, Columbia and Moberly. I have wonderful memories of "payday" meals of thinly cut, pan fried porksteak with rice!

    Pork steak and country style ribs are sliced from the boston butt(pork shoulder).  I save a little and buy the whole pork butt on sale, sometimes as low as .99/lb. I ask the butcher to slice it and vac seal what we don't use right away.  As Chris shows above it's very good eating!
