Keepin' it simple this weekend:
Pork Steaks.

But I'm not making them the that way many St louis area backyard cooks do.
Which is to blast them on the grill, then plop into a warm vat of Maull's bbq sauce for a hour or more.
I do mine more like ribs, rubbed, low & slow, smoked w/cherry, then brushed with Blues Hog sauce.
 
Bob, what cut do you use for pork steaks? Loin?
This is a non-smoke weekend for me. I think it's Malay chicken curry (Ayam Limau Purut) and fish soup with tamarind and rice noodle (Penang Laksa) for me.

Can you post the recipe for the curry? I've been experimenting with that lately with good results.

Sure. Look for it tonight here when I'm home and have the cookbook. In the meantime, go buy lemongrass, galangal and coconut milk.
 
I had a chicken thawing for tonight, but my wife brought home a fresh one yesterday. So, change of plans for the weekend. Brined pork chops and sweet potatoes tonight, more chicken tomorrow. I can't get enough of grilled chicken.

I agree. that's one thing the WSM can't improve on. Grilled chicken just tastes like summer.
 
Salmon today and babybacks tomorrow. I was planning to do pp, but the butcher didn't have any butts, so I had to settle for ribs. I'm going to try foiling them for the first time, following the 3-2-1 method.

-Mark.

Gary,
Pork steaks are just sliced pork butts.
They can be found at all grocery stores in the St Louis area.

Just tried this for the first time last week. Amazing. Had no idea of the cucumber's potential. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I much prefer it cooked as to the raw like in a salad.
 
Wing-fest for a gathering we're going to in a few hours. I've got some Orange Marmalade Sriracha wings ready to go on now. When those are done, I'm doing a batch of Dizzy Pig wings.
