Pork Steaks in South Saint Louis

When I first moved to Saint Louis, I was confused by the changing street names within blocks on the same road and the various names of the neighborhoods in the city of Saint Louis. Do not get me started on having to use north, south, east, and west in my directions!

Upon meeting Big Guy, I had another learning curve. My first barbeque with his family and I encountered my first pork steak. I know I had a weird look on my face as I was given the entire history of this tradition, but I was game especially since I was still new in my relationship with Big Guy and his family.

The years passed, and we decided it was time to revisit this long-ago family meal. We bought two lovely pork steaks with the goal of cooking them “low and slow” to tenderize the meat. In the end, the meal was satisfying, but as the saying goes, we could not go home again. I am sure our doctor will be thrilled we have gotten this bit of nostalgia out of our system!
