I think pork steaks are underrated. An economical cut, this protein is a great alternative to a beef steak. A staple in St. Louis, these smoked pork steaks were tender, flavorful and super easy to make. Smoke it, grill it, try different seasoning and sauce options, add this to your BBQ menu this summer.

Where do pork steaks come from?

Pork steaks are a cut from the shoulder. Therefore more fattier and flavorful than the pork chop. Usually a thin long slice, these pieces are perfect for a direct heat cook.

I was able to get my hands on slightly thicker cuts and decided to smoke them using the low and slow method.

How to cook pork steaks.

There are multiple ways to prepare pork steaks. From a direct quick grill on both sides, reverse sear to smoked, either way, they turn out delicious.

Step 1: Prep the steaks.

For the seasoning, I used my Dad’s All Purpose rub which is the perfect balance of salt, pepper and smoked paprika. It’s perfect on pork.

Start with a light drizzle of W sauce to for the binder and season all sides with the All Purpose seasoning.

Step 2: How to get perfectly smoked pork steaks

Preheat the grill to 250-275 degrees and set for indirect heat. Using the Weber kettle, I don’t have a plate center like I do on my Eggs, therefore I used a small tray and heated the kingsford charcoal on one side. This will allow more room for the steaks to cook on the indirect side.

Smoke the pork steaks for 3 hours flipping them halfway through with the lid closed. The smoke will infuse into the meat for that smokey BBQ flavor.

Next, move the smoked pork steaks into a foil pan, spread your choice of BBQ sauce all over the meat and cover with foil. Finally, place them back on the grill for another 2 hours on the indirect side. Remove once fork tender. Enjoy!
