Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pork shoulder (blade) steaks (about 2.54 cm thick)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Seasoning Preparation: Create a robust spice blend by thoroughly mixing paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Meticulously coat pork steaks with olive oil, then generously massage the spice mixture into both surfaces, ensuring complete coverage.
- Grill Configuration: Ignite the grill to a moderate temperature of 350°F, strategically establishing zones for indirect heat cooking. Arrange the grill with distinct hot and cooler regions to facilitate controlled cooking.
- Slow Cooking Phase: Position pork steaks on the cooler grill section, maintaining lid closure. Rotate periodically during 45-60 minutes of cooking, allowing meat to tenderize and approach complete doneness without direct flame exposure.
- Glazing Technique: Liberally apply barbecue sauce to both steak surfaces. Transfer steaks to the intense heat zone, searing for 3-5 minutes per side. Continuously baste and flip to achieve a caramelized, glossy exterior with rich flavor development.
- Resting and Presentation: Allow steaks to rest for 5 minutes, enabling internal juices to redistribute. Plate with optional additional sauce for enhanced enjoyment, presenting a perfectly grilled, succulent protein centerpiece.
Notes
- Pat pork steaks completely dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect spice rub adherence and achieve a beautiful crispy exterior.
- Maintain consistent medium grill temperature around 350F for even cooking and prevent burning, using indirect heat method for tender results.
- Allow pork steaks to rest 5 minutes after grilling, which helps redistribute juices and keeps meat incredibly moist and tender.
- Apply barbecue sauce during final grilling stages to prevent burning and create delicious caramelized glaze without charring the meat.
