rainy day pork steaks

[Jim Lampe]

seems like it's either snow everyday here or rain everyday here...
now, lot's of standing water everywhere... butt in my kitchen.
that's where i seasoned these two pork steaks with BBQ3000 and Galena Street

while out & about, I found Cowboy Lump Coal...
hear how great it is, I brought home a bag.

fired it up inside the 26"OTG with apple and hickory wood...
sear for a minute or so (actually, a wasted practise for me with pork steaks)

and then indirect for about two hours. These steaks were (as always) marinated overnight in Wicker's.
not much else to do for those 2 hours butt watch the rain... from INSIDE the pigvilion.

potatoes were also added...

then, when the pork seemed pretty tender, i sauced them with PAPPY'S Holly's Hot Sauce

Great STUFF! If you see this in your store, pick-up a bottle!

Thanks Bob!!

then served with trees (george's all-time favourite!) and those grilled baked Yukons

to date: the Finest pork steaks i've made!
Thank you for stoppin' by so long!

Seems like a fine thing to do on a rainy day, where do you find the wickers?

 

[Jim Lampe]

ha ! definately my favorite. when someone else is eating it. i do confess to being confused though. (first time ever).
i'm not getting folks indirect cooking pork steaks for hours. those things cook up purty quick as it is.
i usually just grill them like about 6 minutes each side and they are done. so why the looong cook ?
oh yea, those do look awesome though !

 

[Jim Lampe]

george, i order my steaks from a meat cutting service, you tell them how thick you want your steaks, they cut them to size.
regular pork steaks sold at local grocery stores are cut between 1/2" to 3/4"... i ask for 1 inch minimum.
These were about 1 and 1/4 inches thick. Like slabs of pork butt.
cooking them low (250º) and slow brings out the BEST in pork steaks.

Jim, you're gonna make this southern boy go cut up a pork butt and grill it when nobody's looking!

 

[Tim McCann]

Looks awesome Jim!

 

[Tony R]

[Paul Kastner]

Pappy's BBQ sauce and pork steaks can you say St. Louis?

 

[Gary H. NJ]

Perfect pork steaks Jim. I think you've hit the nail head on. Pork steaks benefit from a little low and slow to tenderize. Happy eetin'!

Based on past cooks, for you to say this is monumental.

Every time you post a pork steak cook Jim, I think to myself "pork steaks?" I don't think I've ever seen pork steaks at my grocery. But, because of posts such as this, I'm lookin' baby, Oh I'm lookin'. And if I do find them, and I even get close to this, I'll be a happy man.
