I want to know who in the fork eats pork steaks without BBQ sauce of some sort. By definition that is a piss poor cut of meat. I agree with not saucing good meats but pork steaks cry out to be basted in BBQ sauce.
The story as I have heard it (many times) is that the original Schnucks brothers came up with the idea of slicing pork shoulders into "steaks" and selling them that way. Otherwise, it had to be ground up or sold as pork shoulder for much less...
When I moved to Connecticut in the mid 80's, I asked the butcher for pork steaks and he looked at me and asked if I meant pork chops. Back then, I wasn't aware that the rest of the country had no idea what pork steaks were. When I explained them to him he asked, "And you eat that...?"  They're not real big on BBQ in New England. But they do damn fine seafood...
I eat 'em that way, Andy.
There's a kneegrow or two on here that I think would agree that they don't have to be sauced.
Lots of opinions on to sauce or not to sauce. I like them both ways as well espcially with a good rub on the steaks. Too bad this thread wasn't a poll, might have gotten the closet saucers out. I agree with Andy though, I do like sauce on pork steaks especially a good carolina sauce. That is all now back to bickering. Oh by the way also caught some nice trout on this trip so smoked trout spread is in the near future.
