Title: Pork Steaks
Post by: smokeasaurus on August 11, 2012, 07:46:39 PM
These are all the rage on the Bullet forum.
Pork steaks are a Pork Butt sliced into 1 inch thick slices.
Seasoned them with Penzeys BBQ3000 and onto the Smokey Mountain at 250 with Hickory and Black Cherry for smoke

After 2.5 hours they are ready for the grill. Internal was about 160

Looks great!  I tried pork steak for the first time a few months back and really like them.

These make me want to cook some this week

Look real good Smoke!

Quite a load of pork steaks there ;)

Have you ever put them in a brine for a short time?

With the price of beef going up pork steaks may be the only steak I have this fall :(

That is something I have not done with pork Mike! How long do you like to brine these?

I might "soak" em next time for probably -4- hours. I wouldn't do it to get moisture, but for flavor.......

Basic brine? - or what do you like Smoke?  I just saw an ad for pork steaks here for $1.69 lb. headed for the store today!

Did you cut these yourself from a whole butt, or do you buy them this way?

Pork steaks (from pork chuck) are really popular here in Germany. But here they're cooked in general on medium to high heat, after being marinated with paprika, mustard, salt, pepper and lots of sliced onions for 2 days.

I like your version and I'm gonna try it low & slow next time! Thanks for inspiring me!
