haven't done q in a while? you mean like 3 days ago? :LOL: good lookin start...pork butt steak looks interestingly good as well.
 
Dad (Trekr on the board) has a butt he's getting ready to cook up, but if the weather doesn't let up in Naples, He says he may just slice the but up and do some butt steaks too. Let us know how they come out Dog...and Dad. :LOL:
 
How do you guys usually do your butt steaks?We are getting there……I’m wondering if I should have foiled the steaks

 
My grocery has them all the time and calls them "pork steaks". I grill 'em and sauce 'em at the end like chicken.

Well I have to join in with Griff on this one. Aint never heard the terminology "pork butt steak" but was raised on pork steak which typically cut off the loin when they cant cut no mo pork chops. If they keep on cutting it comes out to be whut is called "real country style ribs." Sliced up Boston butts is actually phoney baloney country style ribs but passes for the genre by today's standards. If the terminolgy be correct you is cooking thin sliced butts which in turn would be extra meaty quasi country style ribs. If you heavily season it and smoke it low and slow for a long time in the general vicinity of 200 it will turn into a leathery coonass seasoning meat called Tasso..which aint nothing to sneeze at and cost about 10 bucks a pound at the yup grocery stores. It basically the pork version of beef jerky which is a good thing when added to red beans and rice, gumbo, jumbalaya and such things as that. Now if you want to eat it plain I would jack up the heat and cook it like phoney "country style ribs."
Whew..hope this helps. I dont buy that kinda stuff myself.

I've done pork steaks on the kettle for decades, slowly, with the coals pushed to the outside. Since I got the WSM, I prefer doing them on it. They need some time or they tend to be tough. I also like to do boneless "country style" pork ribs skewered together on the WSM. Both cuts do nicely with a liberal sprinkling of rub. :)

Well, dave opted for cooking the butt steaks with the chicken (as you can see in the other pics...) he did sauce them along with some of the chicken, using a hot barbeque sauce (although it really is not that hot). It was a slower cook, not the direct grill that griff suggested, but they were very tender and tasky. I don't know if he doctored the sauce at all; I was not home. I have such a rough life :roll: I have to go to work during the day, (except during summers and holidays) while my husband is at home, watches the kids, and makes dinner.

But enough of that, all you guys want is the food porn anyway ;)
Everything was delicious as usual. here's the pic:


before anyone asks, those are mini twice baked potatoes on the bottom left-- used leftover ABT filling but didn't have real baking potatoes so had to use what was in the house (regular white potatoes).
 
I cook pork steaks often. I've never seen them called pork butt steaks either. I fry them like pork chops, marinate them all sorts of ways and cook them in the oven, rub them with spices and bake in oven, grill them with spices, grill them plain then finish off with my homemade bbq sauce. They're not bad for "cheap" eats!
