Pork Shoulder Steak

Average Weight Per Pack 1lb

Pork shoulder steak is a flavorful, budget-friendly cut taken from the upper shoulder, often called the blade or Boston butt area. Because it contains a good amount of marbling and connective tissue, it benefits from slower cooking methods that allow the meat to become tender while keeping it juicy. For a simple preparation, season the steaks with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, then sear them in a hot skillet or grill until well browned. Finish cooking over lower heat, or braise them with a splash of broth, barbecue sauce, or apple cider until they reach a safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), followed by a three-minute rest. Pork shoulder steak pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or rice, and leftovers work especially well in sandwiches, tacos, or grain bowls.
