Pork Steak, the Underrated Cut of Meat. First in a Series

Pork steaks, thinly sliced steaks from the bone end side of the butt, are a tasty treat that I like to cook from time to time.  They are horribly underrated and economical as well.  My butcher thinks I am crazy for buying them.  This post, the first in a series, will help to change that myth.  But, if they become popular, the price might rise...

First lesson, grilling.  I like it simple.  Granulated garlic, sea salt, pepper...


Put a light coat of each on both sides of the steak...


Get your grill screaming hot, then throw them on direct heat.  Flip after 3 minutes.  Yes, three minutes.  Remember, they are thin and the grill is HOT!


After the flip, 3 more minutes, then onto the plate to rest for 5 minutes...


Serve with your favorite side, macaroni salad in this case, and you have a quick easy meal.

Remember, 3 minutes a side with a hot grill gives you a nice juicy steak that is just past medium.  You'll be picking the bones for sure.

In the future, we will explore marinades, smoking, and other grill recipes.  Hope you come back to read all the posts.

Thanks for stopping by...
