Pork steaks - FINALLY!

I've been watching Jim Lampe and others make excellent pork steaks, so I thought I'd give them a try. I have always thought that Boston butts were good for two things - pulled pork and country style ribs. Found some nice looking pork steaks @ Publix for a decent price, so they had to go home with me. Seasoned them with Simply Marvelous Sweet & Spicy Rub and let 'em sit while I got the Performer heated up with two baskets of KBlue and a chunk of pecan and cherry for flavor.

Seared them for a couple of minutes, then moved to the indirect side. Had some Hasselbacks to go with 'em.

After 30 minutes, they are lookin' and smellin' pretty good.

Wasn't sure how long they needed to cook, so I cooked them until the Thermapen said 140°, then moved back over direct heat for a minute, flipped them, then sauced with modified No.5, combined with some Bullseye (it was on sale and wifey-poo thought she would surprise me), which turned out to be a pretty good combination.

Resting while the beans finish up on the stove.

The pork steak had a nice smoke ring (pic didn't show up very well), but they were excellent. Took about an hour and fifteeen minutes to get done to near fork tender goodness.

This won't be the last time I cook pork steaks. Thanks to those who have shown them here and for giving great ideas on how to cook them.

Pork steaks are just a pork butt that met a band saw so you know they have to be good

Nice looking spuds on the mini fajita pan. I've got the 13" version that Lodge stopped making way too soon.
