I watched the first chef’s table episode on Netflix featuring snows BBQ in Texas and that’s one of their offerings.

One of the things I enjoy doing especially when butts go on sale.

Are you talking about pork butt steaks?
We grill those all the time. That’s a Cajun plate lunch staple

My mom pan fried them often. Thin cut, no flour. Awesome flavor.

I make it all the time. You just cut Boston butts into steaks. They are great marinated in anything you want and are always good seasoned with whatever. You can add any type of bbq sauce if you want or not.
You can mimic pork steak with country style ribs. It’s the same thing only cut smaller and usually with the bone.

As per earlier thread, it is really hard to screw up a pork butt.

Pork steaks (sliced butt) are a backyard grilling staple up here and have been my whole life & I'm almost 70.
Every VFW hall, Lion's Club, & Rotary Club cook them pretty regularly for fund raisers. Every grocery store has them in the meat case every day of the year.

I buy these 2” thick pork chop steaks from Rouses. If I can’t find them thick enough I’ll ask the butcher to cut them for me. They look similar to a rounder thick beef filet mignon. Perry’s and Houston’s cooks them just like a steak and they usually are served with a warm pink center. I reverse sear mine. Truth be told I enjoy these type of pork steaks much as I do a beef steak. Perry’s in Houston is where I tried one first cooked like that.

All the time.
Pork steaks are great on the pit. They also make a fantastic gravy to eat over rice.
Like someone above stated, it’s your typical Cajun BBQ plate lunch.

Seems your regular grocery stores in Texas/Houston area don't regularly carry them like in South Louisiana. At least not good cuts. They're usually measly cuts for pork steaks at HEB and Kroger, and don't always have the bone in them.
But there's a meat market in Rosenberg that sells them, cut perfectly every time. When I know I want pork steaks for the pit or the pot, I just go straight there.

Thanks everyone! Yes, I’m talking about Boston butt cut into steaks. I heard they are popular in the Midwest, but in the Nola area, I don’t see them in the grocery.
Do you guys cook them hours (5-6) like tootsie does?

I've done the Texas Monthly/Snows recipe, and it turned out good. Hardest part was de-boning the pork butt. All I see around here have bone in. I used a razor-sharp fillet knife.
I also saw that Harry Soo has a slightly different version of Tootsie's alleged mop sauce. I used his since it pureed the onion and kept it in versus just boiling a little flavor out of it.
Harry's ingredients are:
2 cups H2O
1 onion, pureed
1 stick butter
½ cup vinegar
½ cup worcestersire
1 Tablespoon dry mustard

I normally just grill them over a hot fire. Never really heard of anyone cooking them for 5 hours, but I have nothing against doing that. Boston butt is good so many ways.

They sell them at Albertsons. I usually hit them with garlic salt and pepper and grill them a bit. Then I put them in a pan in a mixture that’s half Budweiser half barbecue sauce. Cover with foil and let them cook in the sauce for a while, occasionally flipping everyone around

I’m sorry I misunderstood you. I’ve never tried to grill or sear off a pork Boston butt cut into steaks. I do see deboned ones in my store I guess I’ll have to give it a try.

Don’t get me wrong, the boneless ones are very tasty and can be BBQ’d just like the bone-in. But if you can find bone-in pork steaks, get them. Eat the meat off the bone like it were a rib is my favorite part.
