Pork steaks, sometimes referred to as a
Boston butt or
pork blade steak, are
steaks cut from the
shoulder of the pig. Shoulder steaks are cut from the same
primal cut of meat most commonly used for
pulled pork, and can be quite tough without long cooking times due to the high amount of
collagen in the meat. Because of this, pork shoulder steaks are often cooked slower than a typical
beefsteak, and are often
stewed or
simmered in
barbecue sauce during cooking.
