In the 1950’s Don and Ed, the second generation of the Schnuck family, wanted to offer a cut of meat for grilling that was inexpensive enough to fit every family’s budget. True innovators, they cut a pork shoulder, one-half inch thick and found that it made an excellent cut of meat to throw on the grill. The pork steak was born!

Don’s wife, Doris, made a famous barbecue sauce that pairs perfectly with pork steaks. Get the recipe here and try it tonight.

Preheat grill to 450°F. Season pork steak with salt and pepper and allow to reach room temperature. Grill until internal temperature reaches 145°F, about 5 minutes per side. Brush both sides of steak with Schnucks barbecue sauce and continue to cook for another minute, flipping once halfway through.
