Maple Brined Pork Steaks

[Bob Correll]

Simple little cook.
Brined the steaks with a standard brine, but used maple sugar instead of regular.
On the grill with Penzey's salt free AZ Dreaming, hickory for smoke.

Meanwhile, baked a fruit cocktail cake for dee-zert.

After about 2.5 hrs. of indirect each set of 2 were sauced, and wrapped in foil, and corn added to the fixins.

Maple taste?
Nah, but they were tender and tasty.
Corn? from who knows where at this time of year
Not too shabby, but come on Florida corn til local gets here!

Oops! forgot to give you a slice of that cake, next time, maybe.

Wow...I am going to try this super soon. How long did you foil for and why only 2?

 

[Mike Cosgrove]

Wonderful Bob, have to try foiling next time.

 

[Morgan C.]

Nice work Bob! Looks super! Did not think about foiling these but looks like it worked well!

 

[Bob Correll]

Thanks guys!

Chris,
I wasn't too clear about that.
Two were sauced with Tasty Licks (my favorite), and two with Bandana's (my wife's favorite)
Guess they were back on, foiled, for another 45 mins. or so.
Ideally, they should/could have been taken out a given a quick hit of direct to set up a little glaze.

What a great looking meal, Bob! I would love some homegrown sweet corn right about now. Top notch photos as well.

I like simple cooks specially the one you made Bob. Wrapping is something I will need to try thanks for the idea.

That's a nice Sunday dinner, Bob! Did you bake the cake on the grill, too, or did it get cooked in the house?

 

[John Solak]

Fine looking meal Bob but no mayo and parm cheese on your corn?

 

[Mike Coffman]

Fantastic cook and photos Bob!

 

[Jim Lampe]

Terrific Steaks buddy!
Lovin' the corn too!
An EXCELLENT post Bob! I can taste it all now! SUPERB!

 

[Jim S]

Looks superb! When I do pork w/maple, I gotta get that maple flavor. Maple sugar & syrup in the rub & glaze, plus sugar maple wood on the fire if I can get it. Try it!

Bandana's Smell that Smoke.
