About this cut

What it is and how to use it

Shoulder steaks, sometimes called pork steaks, are slices cut across the Boston butt. They are heavily marbled and rich in flavor, and they hold up to a long cook on the grill, in the smoker, or in a braise. They are popular in the Midwest as a barbecue favorite. They are more forgiving than loin chops because of the fat.

Cook’s tipGrill over medium heat, or braise in sauce until tender. They are safe at 145°F with a three-minute rest, and tenderize further with longer cooking.
