pork steaks

Grilled swine slices

Pork steaks are thick slices cut from the pork shoulder or Boston butt, typically containing a cross-section of the blade bone.

Popular in the American Midwest, especially St.

Louis, they're often grilled or braised: We threw some pork steaks on the grill and basted them with barbecue sauce.

The cut is economical and flavorful but requires longer cooking to become tender.
