Pork steak · St. Louis
A pork steak is a thick cut of pork shoulder, grilled low over charcoal and braised in barbecue sauce, usually the local Maull's. It is the signature St. Louis backyard cookout dish.
The pork steak became a St. Louis summer staple in the 1950s, helped by local meatpackers cutting pork shoulder into affordable steaks and by Maull's, a St. Louis barbecue sauce dating to 1926. Cooked slow over coals then simmered in sauce until tender, it is rarely seen as a restaurant dish and instead defines backyard grilling across the metro, a regional cut few cities outside the area know.
