I'm 61 and from Missouri, it's a staple. If cooked properly, they're amazing. We have them all the time. Salty, fatty goodness. Getcha some fresh corn on the cob, grab some lettuce and tomatoes from the garden and hit it 😄
I'm a 58 y/o native Californian and my folks have made these my entire life.. Mom marinated them in teriyaki sauce.. Always a favorite with the kids and guests.
i am from St Louis this is a staple ! tips boil pork steaks in beer for 20 min, pull out and cover in a rib rub, then put on smoker untill a nice char on both sides. about 15-20 min now put in a coverd pan dump BBQ sauce on them put in oven at 300 degrees for about 3 hours and this will be fork tender and the best thing you ever had !! Trust me
Sam, my wife introduced me to pork steaks over 20 years ago & I'm a big fan. Our rule of thumb: season with garlic, onion, s & p; wrap in plastic 24-48 hours; grill. No wet sauce needed, juicy & delicious every time.....if you visit Maine, be our guest--we barbecue no matter the season or weather! --Lisa
St Louis BBQ pork steak. Been making it for years. The only difference being, after searing it on the hot grill, it goes in a covered foil pan with the beer and sauce to braise until done. Very tender this way. The stores by me have them precut about 1/2" thick.
I am becoming more apprehensive these days as the internet tries to play on our deepest fears. If by "foil pan" you mean covered in aluminum foil, do you think there is a significant danger posed by aluminum leaching into food? Wouldn't have thought of this ten years ago, but I gather that some research is concerning.
@@ZephaniahL By foil pan I meant foil pan. Like what you see in a grocery store aisle in a dozen different sizes. Then it is covered in foil. It is the steaming process that really tenderizes the pork steak. Of course you can use any grill safe pan. A pie pan would work well. And yes, the internet certainly has its share of people afraid of aluminum cookware.
Foundational sense-memory growing up in Missouri: 1/2" pork steaks seasoned with Lawry's, cooked over Kingsford charcoal, basted in Maull's bbq sauce (thinned with Busch beer). We never did the foil bath/braise, just cooked them over moderate heat until we got a bit of char on the edges.
I have been cutting meat for over 17 years. Also running a meat market for 8 of those 17 years. Pork steak is a common thing here in Alabama. A lot of people here in the south marinate them in dales sauce. The thickness you cut those. Was about 1 inch. So here in Alabama we cut them in there sections horizontally and call them western style ribs. Next thing I’d like to see you do in the pork family is country style ribs. Which are the first three cuts off the bone in pork loin on the rib in side cut inch and a quarter thick and you cut them in halves. You get a mixture of the baby back and what they call the ribeye of the pork loin. Pork ribeye chops.
👋 from the Gulf Coast I was gonna comment for Alabama but you beat me to it. I’m scared to watch this again in case he really did put the cooked steak on the raw pan he used to season it. Hope I’m wrong. Guarantee it was an honest mistake if I’m right.
Another midwesterner here, by birth, chiming in to say these were a summer staple for at least 50 years in St. Louis. Personally I'm not a fan of slow cooking them after they've been grilled. I like 'em right off the grill and on my plate, thank you very much. Also, they are almost always sold bone-in.
Alberta boy here. Bone in is the way. Hot & fast but I like going to 150+ to get the fat and connective tissues nice and crispy. Meat is still super juicy because it can take the heat.
Pork steaks are a staple on our company's menu for offshore personnel working in the Gulf of Mexico, plus you can find those in some really good "mom & pop" restaurants in the south. Glad someone tipped you guys off to it, although I wish it had been me. Keep up the great work!
I grew up on Pork Steaks (shoulder blade steaks) - Found everywhere Sam! Black pepper, garlic powder and Lawrys Seasoned Salt. Drizzle with Lea&Perrins and some fresh squeezed lime
65 yr old St. Louis native...this was BBQ for every cookout I ever went to. I have lived now in Arkansas most of my adult life and no one hardly ever heard of these. I have introduced many to the joys of the Pork Steak. Hopefully you will enjoy these now for years to come.
Growing up my dad would smoke 1/2” pork steaks any time he had the pit fired up. I loved them. He was born in St. Louis, so that must be where he learned it. I grew up in Oklahoma City, people around here dont know about the pork steak either.
I'm in a household of 2, so we do steaks, not roasts. I've been making these for years. I buy a big roast, cut it into thick steaks, and freeze them. So many of the marginally tender cuts benefit from this treatment.
My 4" paring knife arrived today. I waited too long to get that little wonder. It is now in competition with my STCG nikiri knife as my favorite go-to knife. Thank you!
I LOVE these and am so happy you discovered them!! My stores sell them as Blade Steaks. I've seen them both with the bone and without. They're my mom's favorite! In the summer I do BBQ flavor too with macaroni salad and in the winter and fall I make them on the stove and then deglaze the pan, make a pan gravy and serve them with mashed potatoes! 😋
As an ex-pat that's lived several decades in Mexico let me just say, don't call Corona the best until you've tried a couple of Dos XXs, lager especial. Ice cold with a side dish of spicey hot finger food. You won't regret it. Then get back to me. 😜 The pork looks great. I'll give it a try.
Sam, here in Ohio, I have had bone in pork steak forever. But never saw it done like this! Outstanding! Going to try these this weekend. Thanks again! 👏👏👏👍
I'm a Southern broke folk since forever! Pork steak was a major staple in my home from my childhood all the way thru my children's childhood. I'm happy you discovered this hidden gem!
They are very popular in Texas. Our Aldi has them in the summer, but they are very think about 1/2-3/4 thick. Still good and quick to cook. Great option for the rotation
This is my 1st time ever seeing a pork steak. I’m on my way to the store to go buy the meat right now lol… looks like a must try so I must try it tonight! Thanks @SamTheCookingGuy
Been loving it for years. Always been a thing in the southeast. Literally the only thing that could keep me from missing beef. Soooook good on the grill. Enjoy!!!!
I make these all the time but I sous vide them the day before, then finish with a quick sear on the grill. Melts in your mouth like the best filet mignon you've ever had. Definitely try it if you can!
I’ve been yammering for Sam to do a pork steak for the past year, if he had listened to me…. But, glad he finally did one and it is one HUGE pork steak. Very popular in the South, and we even have them in grocery stores up here in the PNW. One of my favorite things to grill, so THANK YOU, SAM!
That looks absolutely delicious. I grew up in Ohio, and my mother made pork steaks often. When I married and moved to Pittsburgh, I made pork steaks for my husband -- once. He had never eaten one before and wanted no part of it. Many years later, I would love to make these again. Sadly, I have not seen any pork steaks in my local supermarket. I wish we had a dedicated butcher shop in my area.
It never ceases to amaze me the foods that are common in certain areas of the country and other areas never heard of. Scrapple is a great example. Just heard about it in Wisconsin in the past 10 years or so. I love grilled,9r smoked pork steak. Usually only 3/4" thick.
For months now, I find pork steaks at Walmart, of all places. I cook them once every week or so, either on the grill or in the air fryer. We love them. Thanks for another use for them. Looks great.
Sam I haven't had pork steak in a while but that just revived my senses memory and addictive need for a pork steak!! Have learned in time though that Casey Masterpiece and a little bit overcooked pork steak is the best way to have it finally enough! Give it a try if you dare because it gets crispier and there's a good chew to it and for some reason it's just fabulous
Llano Texas here, Marinate them in orange juice about 6 hours. Put them on a mesquite smoker About 220° For about 4-5 hours. Smoke ring goes deep, Absolutely wonderful.
Shout out to all my true Midwest people out there who have been living on these things our whole life.
absolutely. So cheap and plentiful. A good ope to you fellow midwesterner
Yep. Cheers 🍻 from Cleveland

A St. Louis tradition. It’s been mentioned before but usually after the grill they go for a bath in an aluminum tub full of delicious sauce :)
Thank you. Just made it and the whole family was surprised. Incredibly delicious.
Sorry about the earthquake Sam! I just got super excited in anticipation for your video. Hope you and the boys are safe!
Little earthquake in the LA area, Sam’s in San Diego, we didn’t feel a thing.

Pork Steak, classic here in the midwest. Love it
Same. So good
Yep Illinois here and I love them.
Also far more common in Germany (and most of Europe AFAIK) too. Delicious!

Did that go back into the same tray where it sat as raw meat?
Saw that too 🫣
I saw that and was going to comment but decided to look to see if I was crazy. It's definitely sitting in the same tray. 🤮
Who cares...they're eating it so you you're not in any danger lol.
Yeah. I had a bad experience once from baby backs that got put back with some uncooked juice remains. Don’t do that
I LOVE these and am so happy you discovered them!!
