So they cut them frozen? Seems like using the saw on frozen butts would be the way to do it. and how thick are you guys having them cut? Pork chop thickness or thicker?

I cut mine myself. These were all done 2" thick. If you want to cut down on cooking time you could go lower, but I would keep it 1.5" minimum if it were me.

I can cook circles around you boi. At least I have the guts to leave my shelter occasionally. Hell, I make more beer shares with the H-Town boys than you do

Pork steaks have got to be the easiest cut of meat to cook. The last thing you need to overthink (ie worrying about internal temperature and all that bullshite).

Season the day before (if you have the time), let sit in the fridge, throw over coals or wood and baste gently with whatever sauce you like. Or not sauce. Great that way as well.

Also, if in the mood for a gravy, they make an excellent one over rice or mashed potatoes. Either do a meat grease gravy, or a roux based like a fricasse.

I took them all to 195-200. A couple maybe past 200


They didn't shred at that temp?

Speaking of temp isn't 135 pretty low for pork? 135 is a beef cooking temp for medium rare.

USDA recommendation is at least 145 for pork steaks.

The gas station/grill on the S/E corner at the street light on Hwy. 61 in Woodville MS. smokes them in the morning and has them out everyday between 9 and 10 o’clock. They add some teriyaki and Lea Perrin to there’s. Use oak. If you are ever by there in the late mornings stop and try some. Best I have ever had.



Whitetails?

Heath Riles put out a video on them a few weeks ago. He did a pretty basic reverse sear.

He seared then moved to indirect, reverse sear would be the opposite.

I wonder if you could cook them using the Snow's method on a Green Egg with lump coal and wood chunks?

My big concern would be trying to create enough distance from your coals to the meat, so they don't over char/cook during the cook.
I have a grill extender that adds an additional grill above the main grate, so that gets me about 10 more inches higher.

If able, I'll try this weekend and report back.

That would be my concern with a Weber Kettle. I believe, if I'm not mistaken, Snow's cooks on an open pit? If that's the case the Egg is going to just be a low and slow cook, like a butt. With the deflector, you won't get the juices hitting the hot coals/wood.

I may try this on the kettle, and put the steaks on the raised shelf directly over the coals and leave the lid open...

Or I could cook it like a butt 'til it reaches internal of 190+ and then sear it for a minute...

I cook pork steaks all the time on a green egg... I season about an hr before cook and I sear them at 400 on both sides just like a ribeye. Then baste with a BBQ right before pulling off.

Do most places sell the butts without the bone? I've only seen them occasionally.

Snow's uses a whole hog style pit, they have lids. Fixed height above coals. Only place I've noticed that sells boneless exclusively are places like Costco. Any other grocery store I've ever been to usually sell bone-in.

We smoke the heck out of pork steaks in Missouri...this isn't the most traditional recipe out there but danged if it isn't a good one: LINK if you get thin ones at the store, I just do lawrys and sear on the gas grill.
