Tips on How To Grill Pork Steaks
They’ll be the hit at your next bbq or grilling party and it’s a great way to have pork that’s super juicy. No more dry grilled pork chops! You’ll be obsessed with how great these grilled pork steak taste.
This tender grilled pork steak recipe is super fantastic and the texture is outstanding. Pork steaks are usually more inexpensive when compared to beef steaks and always super juicy. These pork steaks are cut from a large 3-4 pound pork butt or also known as pork shoulder or boston butt. The meat to fat ratio is great and that’s what gives these pork steaks their juicy and tender bite. Often times regular loin cut pork chops can be dry and tough when cooked on the bbq, but the marbled fat in these pork shoulder steaks keeps the meat extra tender, juicy and super flavorful! Add your favorite marinade and then brush on some extra bbq sauce before you serve these pork steak and everyone will be surprised at how delicious and tender a grilled pork steak can be.
You can usually find pork shoulder steak pre-cut in your grocery store or butcher. If not, just buy a whole pork shoulder (pork butt, boston butt) and slice then to your preferred thickness.

Grilled Pork Shoulder Steaks
Ingredients
- 4 pork shoulder steaks , (aka pork butt or blade steaks) sliced 1/2"-3/4" thick
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) oil
- 4 large cloves garlic , minced
- 3 Tablespoons (45 ml) soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) onion powder
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
- In bowl combine oil, garlic, soy sauce, onion powder, brown sugar, salt and black pepper. Add pork steaks and coat them evenly in the marinade.
- Cover the bowl and marinate pork for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Pre-heat grill on medium heat *see head note. Scrape the grill grates to make sure they are clean.
- Grill pork steaks for 6-10 minutes per side or until nicely charred and cooked through (turning the pork steaks several times every couple minutes will actually help cook them quicker and more evenly-it just needs more attention which isn’t a bad thing considering the flare-up nature of the pork steaks).
- Serve hot and scrumptious straight up, or for sandwiches, on rice etc…

Favorite BBQs & Tools for Making Smoking and Grilling:
Some tools, grills, and smokers make BBQ and grilling all the more enjoyable.
Oklahoma Joe’s Reverse Flow Offset Smoker –
Love this offset smoker. Solid construction. Isn’t perfect, but with a couple easy modifications it will smoke as well as the $1k + smokers. Can use the main chamber also as a regular charcoal grill. Love using it as a regular grill using lump charcoal or briquettes. Huge cooking surface.
Oasity BBQ Light –
Grilling should never be confined to the daylight. Love this BBQ light. Good brightness, solid magnets plus clamp option. We’ve gone through 1/2 dozen different grilling lights before falling in love with this one. Be ready to grill all night long.
Traeger ‘Que Classic BBQ Sauce –
A good sauce is the finish touch to great BBQ. Get a little sweet and heat or check out the rest of their sauce line-ups for other options.
Flame Boss Wifi Temperature Control – A gadget geeks smoking dream. Control your grill and smoker’s temp. from your phone. Adjusts air flow, determines meat temperature. Gadget awesomeness!
Weber Charcoal Chimney Starter –
The perfect way to light lump charcoal or briquettes.
Premium Lump Charcoal –
Burns hotter and longer. Give a great smoke flavor without needing to add wood chips. Our preferred fuel for smoking meats.

7 Comments on “Grilled Pork Shoulder Steak”
What type of oil do you typically use?
Usually we’ll use a clean tasting and high smoke point oil like grape seed oil or a grape seed/canola blend. But nearly any cooking oil will work fine. The ones with higher smoke points are usually best for grilling due to the higher temps when cooking.
ABSOLUTELY amazing. We followed the recipe exactly, but with a few twists.
We added cut up shallots to the marinade. We started off cooking in an oven – 250 degrees for about 25-30 minutes on a wire rack. Got the internal temp up to about 120 before transferring to a hot grill. Finished it off to internal temp of 160.
We also took the leftover marinade, strained the shallots out, and put it in a small pan, low heat, and added bourbon (or rye), about 2 tablespoons, and reduced it down, eventually adding some chicken stock, butter, and flour to make a great gravy. We poured this over the pork steaks and it was awesome.
Yay! This is so awesome and so glad you enjoyed the recipe. Thanks for sharing all your details and adjustments.
Really great recipe. The grilled pork steak cooked perfectly and tastes amazing.
followed everything in the recipe and they turned out perfect. I’ll be making these for 4th of July for sure.
I had the chance to grill this over the weekend. It came out great. I can’t wait to keep grilling this all summer long.
