I have been lurking on the forum for a few months now and really appreciate the cooks and recipes that everyone shares. I am a native St.Louisian and we enjoy our pork steaks here. I have cooked them twice now and I think I have the kinks worked out. I used Smokin' in the Dark Medium Rub Link Here and grilled indirect at 300 dome temp for about 3 hrs on my large. Sorry no pics...I'll take some next time. I love the medium rub from these guys...it is so versatile. Anyone else have any pork steak recommendations?

What cut is "pork steak"?
?

It's simply a steak cut off of a pork butt - I don't get around much, but I think they are pretty much a St. Louis/Kansas City thing.

Yes, they are a cut from pork shoulder (Boston Butt) and we have them here in Oregon too :laugh: Sometimes called Country Ribs (Trust me, they are not ribs). They come boneless and bone-in, all depends on the butcher.
I did a couple the other night and followed Nature Boys procedure off of the Dizzy Pig website. It basically a raised grid with a 250 +/- dome temp. The ones I grabbed where not cut that thick and only took 2 hours. Added a chink of Guava wood at the start to get a bit of kiss :P of smoke flavor.
Indirect or Direct...I have done them both with great results.

I smoke mine indirect like pork butt at 250 for 3 hours or so. I like to put on my kc rub the night before so it soaks in .. yum yum!
-
Frank, I'm glad you asked first.
Never heard of a pork steak either... sounds good though. Anything with butt HAS to be good.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Well, all I gotta say is they don't raise them kinda pigs in Kentucky, or any where else south of the Mason/Dixon Line, Steaks don't come from Butts, but if its Pork its gotta be good! :P !!

We definately have country ribs down here though. And they are awesome. I go raised direct around 300 also, but they are usually done in around 2 hours.
-
I make them all the time. If they are good ones I do them indirect at 250. If they are the .99 cent ones from schnucks or shopnsave I do 250 indirect for 2 hours then simmer in a pan of BBQ sauce for 2 hours.
Here are a couple along with some ribs and tators in the foil. -
I agree with you, country ribs are great and cook fairly fast, luv'm! :P

Yew they are a great meat cut native to our Missouri are. I grill mine at 300 for about 1 hour then simmer/baste in a BBQ-beer sauce- tender off the bone... sometimes I use a sweet-n-sour sauce. yes those .89 cents lb. make good grillin days and terrific pork sandwiches for many days after,,,,

Thanks for the feedback. I've done a bunch of grilling on the egg since getting it in Febuary - there is no comparison. I was a tried and true weber kettle guy...and now there is no turning back.
I am working up some plans for a big cookout for Mother's Day...I'll post pics! -
we do a lot of them in southern Illinois, but we are less than 2 hours from STL. I did the slow and low for a long time, but a co-worker and fellow egghead told me to take a 1 inch pork steak and cook at 500 indirect for 10 per side. I tried it and they are perfect a little sear and very juicy.
