This week I had my local butcher cut some “Extra-Thick” pork steaks from a fresh Boston Butt. Also known as blade steaks - or pork shoulder blade steaks - Pork Steaks are excellent on the grill and these thick-cut versions are hearty enough for the biggest appetite!
I start out by seasoning each side of the pork steaks with a little Killer Hogs The AP Seasoning followed by a generous layer of Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub. Just let them hang out on the counter while you get the grill going.
I’m firing up the PK 360 for this cook, but you can use any grill set up the same way. Start with a chimney full of hot charcoal and spread the coals out evenly across the front and back of the grill; add about a chimney of unlit coals down the center. This way the grill will have even heat throughout the whole cook.
You can also add a couple chunks of your favorite wood to the hot coals for some smoke flavor. I use cherry but hickory, pecan, or apple are good choices.
To slow the grilling process down, I use a raised cooking grate. This creates a little distance from the hot coals and allows the steaks longer time in the smoke.
Place the pork steaks on the raised grate and cook them for about 20 minutes then flip and repeat. By this time the outside should start to turn a little dark. Remove them from the grill and wrap.
I use a sheet of aluminum foil with 2 Tablespoons of butter and a good drizzle of honey over the top. Close the foil up tight and get them back on the grill.
This step tenderizes the pork steaks and keeps them from getting too dark. Use a good probe thermometer and monitor the internal temperature. It should be 190-195⁰.
Once temp is reached remove the steaks from the grill (careful because they’re hot) and sit the raised grate to the side. Place a set of grill grates over the hot coals and give it time to get hot.
Carefully unwrap each pork steak and brush the outside with a good sauce. I’m using my new Killer Hogs Vinegar Sauce. Place each pork steak on the grill grates and cook each side about 4 minutes to get a good char on the outside.
They’re done at this point and after a short 5 minute rest, ready to serve. You can really taste the grill flavor and the vinegar sauce goes nice with the richness of the pork.

I'm not sure if anyone else agrees but in my opinion Malcolm is definitely one of the best youtubers I've ever come across!

[@JVitoux89]

HaydsZ totally agree!

[@CosmicStargoat]

He knows his BBQ. Memphis BBQ is the best.

[@CosmicStargoat]

Plus, I would never trust a skinny Pitmaster.

[@shawntezross340]

HaydsZ hands down he's the best!!-

[@neilnewton9023]

HaydsZ I agree,my new fav

[@jeremy3546]

Definitely the best BBQ channel on KZbin!

[@warrenmcfadden3918]

John Matherson bbq pit boys also good

[@walkejam]

My wife loves the fact that I found his channel a few years ago. Every recipe I use from him comes out A-1. True pitmaster!

[@benjaminstarks4071]

Pitmaster X is petty awesome!!

[@johnpearson6245]

No doubt and it's not even close. He has a great team in place.

[@LB-sk3vl]

AMEN

[@Zepper-xs6bu]

If I'm in need of cooking tips..and if the size of the man doesn't take over 80 percent of the screen, IM NOT INTERESTED! Love this man's passion and style and demeanor

[@bethskellenger2743]

Malcolm, thank you! I made these for my husband and son a few years ago and they were so good. My husband wouldn't admit that I had outdone his best grilling, but there wasn't anything left on his plate but the bone that he'd picked clean. I'm making these again today for my men. I followed one of your videos last week for smoked baby backs. Once again, my husband wouldn't admit that it was good. I think his smoker has a new master. 😉

[@richardmulcahy8607]

🤣🤣🤣😇

[@chadsem]

[@conorsaintlouis9790]

Saint Louis Staple!!

[@areyoulooney]

How to bbq right + cooking with a PK = amazing bbq! They look wonderful!

[@akwolf1434]

Pork steaks are a Missouri staple. Some good baked beans, potato salad, and some home-made fresh and warm bread............damn good!!

[@SuperBill68]

I bought this as my first propane grill. It's been a fun, learning experience kzbin.infoUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . I think it's a bit too pricey after looking at other grills, but it wasn't hard to put together and it works really well. I love the side burner option for heating food during a power outage. I have an electric stove and live in the South (Hurricane season), so this was a bonus. I also bought a cover for it and it has protected it nicely (the Char Broil All-Season Grill Cover 3-4 Burner: Large). Every few grill sessions, I take the rack (or grate) and burner covers off and clean them with a non-abrasive scrubby and mild soap. I wipe the excess off of the bottom as well, taking care to avoid the gas and pilot lines.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing this video Malcom, it's Feb 2, 2025 and I just received the seasoning to do these Pork Steaks similar to the way you made them and I know we will enjoy them as much as you did yours. Stay safe and keep up the great videos and recipes you share and your seasonings are awesome, Fred and family.

[@budwoodman1716]

I have learned a LOT from watching your vids. They are easy to follow and you have a talent to connect with the viewer. I have followed several of your instructions on various types/cuts of meat and they have turned out great. Can't wait to try these grilled pork steaks. I was raised on a hog farm (Durocs) and can remember how good the dinners were. I am 68 yrs old now and I am enjoying it all over again. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@jamesott5295]

I have made many of his recipes. I can tell you first hand this channel and Matt from Meat Church are the best BBQ cooking channels on KZbin. You cannot go wrong learning from this channel. Keep up the good cooking.

[@jimjake26]

Cooking pork steak so I am looking for a new recipe so I go to one of my favorite sites and find this. OMFG .... Malcolm, this recipe is spectacular. My pork steaks were not nearly as thick (about 1/2") so I lowered the cook times cut times and added my own spices and sauce but the technique of smoking, wrapping (w/ butter and honey) and searing the steaks gave me one of the best meals I ever cooked. I know this video is nearly 3 years old and posting an old videos is weird but I have to give props when due. Awesome work and thanks for a perfect recipe.

[@michaelchristian5800]

I have said it before and I'll say it again. Malcolm is the absolute best!!!!!!!!!!

[@tobyhigginbotham2564]

Malcom you have the best BBQ KZbin channel by far! The other guys don’t compare. I love the way you sum up what you have done at the end. You will make a good living on KZbin! Keep up the great work.

[@samrichards8251]

Looks like the tastiest pork steaks I have ever seen. This dude knows how to BBQ👌🏻 thanks for the vids.

[@juliaestes-nix8860]

Thanks. Ive never made these. I thought they were pork chops. Lol

[@nate_vz]

Made these tonight and they were sooooooo good, awesome as you said Malcom. I didn't have the exact same ingredients so used my own BBQ rub and instead of honey used brown sugar and the butter. Cooked them on my weber kettle with offset heat. Did use the Royal Oak Chef select, had that and used pecan and Apple wood. Thanks so much Malcom. This is THE way to cook blade steaks!

[@josephbailey4420]

if you have never used killer hogs seasoning you need too it really does take your cooks to another level. the best I've used to date

[@brockmurphy1747]

Hi Malcolm! I’m a barbecue chef from St. Louis, the pork steak capital of the world! There’s two camps in the city for how to cook a pork steak. The first way is pretty much how you did em, and how I do them in my restaurant. About an inch and a half thick, low and slow about three hours, sear them with some brown sugar for some color. The second way is to cut em about 1/2 an inch thick and cook it like a steak while constantly basting with a tomato based sauce. Both ways are absolutely delicious and I wish barbecue across the country starts making pork steaks!

[@jbcomputersystems274]

Dear Malcolm, my wife and I love you're videos! You should open a small bbq spot somewhere where we can go and taste your food. Please

[@313muziqman]

I am willing to travel to it WHEREVER it is!

[@brgable]

Brother you put out the best cooking videos on KZbin!! I’ve learned so much from them and cook every weekend for my buddies and their families. Ironically I ran into your brother in law Donovan at a gas station in Dunwoody GA where we both live he had one of your shirts on and I asked where he got that shirt and he told me about you. Small world keep up the excellent work thank you! Brandon

[@jermaineyoung391]

Malcom man you are the king of you tube barbeque.

[@tanyastanaland9439]

Wow! Just found this today, my hubbie got some pork steaks and I had no idea what to do with them. I know how to do a whole butt, but this is next level. Can’t wait to try this.

[@eldawg1325]

Just want to say I appreciate the knowledge that you have shared with us all. I made these last weekend and my family cannot stop talking about it.

[@forzaitalia44g]

I don't even know how good it is. But the sincerity and love from you sales it

[@kylefarmer1171]

Such an underrated cut of meat. Blade steaks are amazing on the grill. Having them tonight. Mmmm

[@hvyluv1]

My mouth is watering...simply beautiful Malcolm!

[@barbecuefrenzy6355]

Those are some beautiful looking pork steaks my friend!! I've been watching your channel for as long as I've had a KZbin account and I'm always impressed with your creativity, energy, and love of great BBQ. Keep up the good work!!

[@slovitte]

Ben a fan of this guy for a while, but when i saw this recipe and that new vineger sauce, i placed my order for it immediately. I ordered the rub and AP seasoning too. Im gonna cook this as soon as my order comes in. Thanks Malcomb!

[@dhsroc84]

Malcom Reed is the man. I follow all of his recipes, How to BBQ Right.

[@cudaus1]

I follow his recipes too. Have been having great results!

[@bodguard1988]

Love Pork Steaks. Very popular in my city of St. Louis

[@urbanurchin5930]

......"Don't baste your BBQ - Maul it ! " Some of my family hated Maul's BBQ sauce - but I always loved it ! By the time I was 12 years old , my dad had taught me how to do pork steaks on the grill on the back porch . We were just across the river in Madison County , Illinois ...... everyone loved pork steaks !

[@valcomm5]

Undoubtedly the best looking pork steaks I've ever seen. Even raw. I love that you did this like competition ribs. This is phenomenal

[@tonyryken]

Most underrated cut of meat

[@PWS2U]

Tried this out first time last week on my Legacy Char-Griller with coal bed lowered completely down using exact recipe. They turned out delicious. I asked for 1.25"cuts, however the grocery butcher didn't cut the steaks as thick as those shown in the video. I probably used too much charcoal too as they cooked fast. Thankfully my lady loves bark! Trying again now with a twist. Smoking and wrsppingon my WSM and searing lastly on thegrill with grill grates heated up

[@JDon280Z]

I've been following Malcom since 2011and I have saved every email/video that he has sent to me. I found out about him through the BBQ Brethren Forum. Definitely one of the best at Grilling/Smoking and also producing excellent Videos.

[@liamlad1]

that's how I do my country style ribs! Great one Malcolm! Thanks!

[@Dwagz101]

I’m doing this tonight! Been a follower for awhile now and always ended up with great BBQ/smoking thanks to your videos Malcom! I just want a Killer Hogs shirt now!!!! Keep it up!

[@MrKemmons10]

Malcolm! Finally someone does these the right way (the STL) way. Love all your videos man.

[@howtobbqright]

[@mikebelisle9282]

Kyle Emmons I totally agree! Pork steaks are definitely an STL thing.

Im just catching up, just found this channel, love it. From outside Jeff city, now in KC. Literally looked this video back up as I'm cooking pork steaks.

[@jacobdavis6436]

When I get props on good q I always shout out where I learned. I’m just a parrot repeating Malcom’s wisdom. To my “main man Malcolm “ thanks.

[@UMepher]

Well done, brother, and good video. This is more or less how I already do pork steaks here in Ohio. I've never wrapped them though, but I've recently started wrapping most everything I BBQ, so I'll give it a try, probably with butcher paper instead of foil. A lot of people cook these quick over direct heat like a good beef steak, but slowing down and barbecuing them is the way to go.

[@richardeast3328]

Sounds good, I've always stared them off the coals on the side, then put them in an aluminum pans with doctored -up BBQ sauce for an hour or so and at the end, take them out and put them over the hot coals to make the sauce tacky.

[@RetiredTony]

King of "how to bbq right"...great job man!

[@BiggsHomeCookin]

They look fantastic Malcom... the cookmore grid works great for keeping the meat further away from the heat so as not to burn. I've used it to grill pork back ribs... done in a 1 1/2 hrs, with good results. Thanks! Biggs : )

[@jesusavila490]

mr. Malcolm like always your the best this is jesse from harlingen tx i always learn from your videos thank you very much sir

[@robertlongfield5725]

Watched this video, ordered my seasoning and vinegar sauce from Malcolm last night to make these pork steaks this weekend. Looking forward to whipping these up. Malcolm, you are da Bomb!

[@deej19142]

[@draggngmac386]

[@dohman76]

[@tjhaeussler]

Currently just pulled one on the Traeger as we speak, smoked at 180° for 2.5 hrs. I'll be heading to Wannamaker's for some of your vinegar sauce. I'll finish the cook another day. Thanks for all your great recipes. I hope after things get back to normal you make your way to Chicago.

[@MrAirtaz]

Love your channel! Couple questions:. 1. Grill good and hot. What temp you looking at? 2. Regular butter. Salted or not? Thanks bro and thanks for keeping me fed!

I wasnt hungry 3:00 minutes ago... Suddenly I am starving. This recipe is similar to a vietnamese pork, one of my favorite dishes is bun thit neuong.

[@howtobbqright]

+robhimself79 that's a great idea! I was thinking going Chinese style Char Su next time

[@nate_vz]

Good point. I often do blade steaks with rice and a runny egg on top, like in the Vietnamese restaurants here in Seattle!

[@randyhanson837]

I rarely subscribe or comment on a first time video, but I did for this one and it is great. I love your presentation and that you use charcoal vs propane. I am gonna try some of your vinegar sauce too. Always open to new adventures in grilling.

[@49eddieg]

The Master at applying Rub!

[@strong-tower]

I can't believe that I didn't know about the vinegar sauce. Going to my local BBQ store after work to look for it...then going to get a nice pork steak!! As usual, Malcom is forcing food into my mouth!!

[@scoobysnacks3740]

That's why u the man. Those pork steaks make me want to fire up the grill this weekend bud. Great video. Another thing i like is when your seasoning your food, you always advise people to use the seasoning that they like (that taste good to you)and your giving us the techniques on cooking on the grill. I really like the way you set your charcoal up for this particular cook. You really outdid yourself on this one. And THAT, is why I watch ur videos...keep on keepin it on brutha👍.....keep it💯% funky
