I want to know who in the fork eats pork steaks without BBQ sauce of some sort. By definition that is a piss poor cut of meat. I agree with not saucing good meats but pork steaks cry out to be basted in BBQ sauce.

The story as I have heard it (many times) is that the original Schnucks brothers came up with the idea of slicing pork shoulders into "steaks" and selling them that way. Otherwise, it had to be ground up or sold as pork shoulder for much less...

When I moved to Connecticut in the mid 80's, I asked the butcher for pork steaks and he looked at me and asked if I meant pork chops. Back then, I wasn't aware that the rest of the country had no idea what pork steaks were. When I explained them to him he asked, "And you eat that...?" They're not real big on BBQ in New England. But they do damn fine seafood...




I was in Calioforia one time and the folks we were visiting wanted to bbq. I said great what are we cooking and they said steak. I said why don't we do pork steaks and they said WHAT is that. I went to a butcher shop and asked if they had some and they never heard of it. I had him cut a butt in to steaks, cooked then over charcoal and sauced the hell out of them. There were none left. Next day I took a piece I saved to the meat shop and the guy loved them and started selling them in his shop. Most of the country still doesn't know what they are.
