Pork Steak: The Underrated Cut of Meat. Second in a Series

Here is a great, simple recipe for grilled pork steak:  The Montreal Marinade.  This is a great marinade for adding flavor and tenderness to a cut of meat seen as being "tough."  This marinade is not just for beef.

First, I mix the following:

1/4 cup of water
1/4 cup of canola oil
2 Tbsp of white vinegar
1 Tbsp of Montreal seasoning

Whisk together and pour over your steaks in a plastic bag.  Lay flat to ensure you cover all of the steak surface...



I let marinade for about 2 hours, flipping halfway though.

Then, I tossed the steaks on a screaming hot grill...


Four minutes, then flip...


Enjoy the sunset for a bit.  Pull after four minutes, eight minutes total...



Served with a salad and some corn.  Perfect medium.  Crispy pork fat.  What could be better?

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.
