Spending the last few weeks in Illinois and Missouri, we have tried some of the local favorites around, albeit carry-out, to support local and abide by social distancing recommendations. St. Louis style pizza, and toasted Raviolis are two dishes indigenous to the area.
On my quest to find out the type of steak that is favored, I happened upon pork steak. What is a pork steak? I thought it would be just another name for a pork chop. It’s not. WHAT? A pork steak is a Boston butt or pork shoulder roast that is thinly sliced, then cooked on the grill. The marinade is made from a specific type of barbecue sauce, Maulls’ barbecue sauce, mixed with a full bodied beer.
I love taking dishes that are local favorites and putting a twist on them. Here I have developed a unique dish that addresses the St. Louis style and have come up with a couple amazing recipes using the pork steak!
Let me know what you think!
