St Louis Barbecued Pork Steaks
Ingredients
- 5-7 pounds Boston Butt Pork Shoulder, No bone if possible
- Large foil baking pan
Instructions
- You can do this recipe entirely out on the outside BBQ, but this is how I do it with a mixture of using the grill and oven.
- Set BBQ grill to high and turn your oven on to 250 degrees
- 1) Prepare about 6 cups of your favorite BBQ sauce. Traditional St Louis steaks use a beer based sauce, but I prefer a Kansas City style sauce [see recipe on site here and double]
- 2) Cut the Pork Butt directly down the middle. Stand each half on the end you just cut and then slice down creating 1 inch steaks. It doesn't have to be pretty, but try to make them no more than an inch think.
- 3) Sprinkle all the steaks with freshly ground black pepper
- 4) Under high heat, grill the steaks so there are nice grill marks and charred. 5-6 minutes per side and don't worry about cooking them through as they'll have plenty of time to cook in the oven.
- 5) Place steaks in baking pan, pour bbq sauce on top and cover with tin foil. Put in oven for about 2-2 1/2 hours. Optionally, you can place back into the bbq with all the grill burners set to low.
- Optionally, after the steaks are cooked you can remove from bbq sauce and do one last sear on the bbq.
- I like to serve with cream mashed potatoes and homemade macaroni and cheese.
- Note: The easiest place to find the Boston Pork Butt is BJs [Costco] type store.
