Pork Shoulder Steaks

Jay, Brian & Frankie Season 1 Episode 185

Pork shoulder steaks are one of the most underrated cuts you can throw on the grill. They’re flavorful, versatile, and easy on the budget — whether you cook them hot and fast, braise them for tenderness, or even give them a kiss of smoke. In this episode, we break down everything you need to know: how to choose the best steaks, what you should expect to pay, and our favorite cooking methods, sides, and sauces to make them shine.

🔥 Highlights: Jay’s midday ribeye and grilled romaine adventure, and Brian’s sprouts with bacon on the Blackstone.

❓ Listener Question: Pete writes in from our blog post on seasoning a Blackstone griddle: “When seasoning, should I season the inside vertical edges too?”
