Thick BBQ pork steaks grilled with tangy sauce are a high protein, carnivore-friendly Midwest classic. This budget-friendly, family-style meal is perfect for weekend cookouts.
Pat pork shoulder steaks dry, then rub both sides with vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) and clean grates thoroughly to prevent sticking.
Place steaks directly on the grill and cook uncovered for 4–5 minutes per side, turning once for visible grill marks.
Brush BBQ sauce generously over the steaks, reduce heat to medium, and cook steaks covered for another 8–10 minutes, turning once and basting again.
Rest steaks for 5 minutes after removing from the grill to retain juices, then serve with extra BBQ sauce if desired.
