Mel’s Pork Steaks

Pork steaks are slices of meat cut from the pork shoulder, also known as the Boston butt or pork blade. They are distinct from pork chops, which come from the leaner loin section. Pork steaks are well-marbled with fat and connective tissue, giving them a rich flavor and making them very juicy.

Characteristics

• Cut Location: Shoulder area (Boston butt/blade).
• Flavor/Texture: Rich flavor, well-marbled, juicy, and can be very tender when cooked properly.
• Bone: Can be found bone-in (containing part of the shoulder blade bone) or boneless.
