These big, inexpensive cuts are sliced from the shoulder (or Boston butt), so there’s a bit of fat there, yes, as well as bone. But the fat is a built-in baster and keeps the meat moist and flavorful during grilling.
A steak can easily feed two, but after trying this recipe once, you may find that folks aren’t too eager to share!
Makes 4 steaks, 2 cups greens
Total time: 40 minutes
INGREDIENTS
For the Steaks—
- 3 T. paprika

- 1/2 t. red pepper flakes
- 4 pork shoulder steaks, trimmed (about 1 lb. each)
For the Greens—

- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Red pepper flakes to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Blend paprika, brown sugar, pepper, salt, and 1/2 t. pepper flakes in a bowl, then rub onto both sides of each steak. Grill steaks until cooked through and well marked, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes.
Saute bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Add greens, broth, and pepper flakes; cover and steam until wilted, about 4 minutes, then season with salt.
