PORK-SHOULDER STEAKS WITH HOT PEPPER DIP
This is pork barbecue as you've probably never experienced it, with the shoulder cut crosswise into pencil-thin steaks and grilled directly over hickory embers. Note we're saying grilled, not barbecued (smoked), the way most pork shoulder is cooked in the South. But it's not complete until it's dipped in a fiery bath of vinegar, melted lard or butter, and cayenne. And no one makes it better than Anita Hamilton Bartlett at R&S Barbecue in Tompkinsville, Ky. To be strictly authentic, you'd grill over a wood fire; barring that, add hickory or other hardwood chunks or chips to your charcoal fire, or place wood chunks under the grate and over the burners of your gas grill. An added advantage: this is "barbecue" you can cook in 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Make the dip: Place the ingredients in a deep pot along with 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat until the butter and lard are melted, whisking to dissolve the salt, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat and gently simmer the sauce until richly flavored, about 15 minutes. Correct the seasoning, adding salt, cayenne or black pepper to taste. Transfer 2 cups of the dip to a baking dish large enough to fit the steaks.
- Grill the pork: Set up your grill for direct grilling (see note below), and heat to high. Brush or scrape the grill grate clean, and oil it with a tightly folded paper towel dipped in vegetable oil.
- Immerse the steaks in the dip in the baking dish, turning with tongs to coat both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the steaks on the grill grate. Grill until browned on both sides and cooked to taste, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Baste the steaks with more dip as they grill.
- Dunk the steaks in the pot (not the baking dish) of dip before serving. For extra excitement, ladle more dip into small bowls or cups for serving on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat smoker using a mix of hickory and a few oak wood chips. The fire should burn down to the coals, not ash, when cooking the pork shoulder.
- Season the pork shoulder with a little salt and place the meat on the grill. Cover the smoker and let the pork smoke for 8 to 10 hours.
- Combine the rest of the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, stirring the sauce frequently. If you like your sauces a little spicier, add more black pepper. After about 20 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside.
- Once the pork is finished cooking, remove from the smoker and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, hand pull, chop, or slice the pork. Serve the meat with some of the Lexington dipping sauce poured over the top.

REVERSE-SEARED STEAK
Reverse-searing is a grilling technique for steak that ensures a dark, sizzling crust and a rosy center that is perfectly cooked to your desired degree of doneness. This brilliant grilling method combines the low and slow cooking of traditional barbecue with the high heat charring practiced at steakhouses. Though it works well with any thick steak, from picanha to porterhouse, this recipe calls for a cut of steak popularized in Santa Maria, Calif., and is today known and loved across the U.S. as tri-tip. As the name suggests, it's a triangular or boomerang-shaped steak cut from the tip of the sirloin, blessed with a robust beefy flavor.

Steps:
- If using wood chips, soak in water for 30 minutes. Set up your grill for indirect grilling and heat to 250 degrees. Clean and oil the grill grate.
- Remove the tri-tip from the refrigerator. Generously season it with salt, pepper and granulated onion or garlic (or both) on all sides.
- Place the tri-tip, fat side up, on the grill grate away from the heat. Insert a remote thermometer probe, if using, deep into the center of the meat. If you soaked wood chips, drain them. If using a charcoal grill, add the wood chunk(s) or chips to the coals. If using a gas grill, place the wood chunks under the grate over one of the burners, or place the chips in your grill's smoker box. Close the lid. Indirect grill the tri-tip to obtain an internal temperature of 110 degrees, which will take 30 minutes or so. Transfer the tri-tip to a platter and let it rest for at least 10 minutes, or as long as 1 hour.
- Just before serving, heat your grill to high. On a charcoal grill, rake the coals into a mound in the center of the grill, adding fresh coals as needed. Let the new coals burn until glowing red. On a gas grill, simply set the burners on high.
- Return the tri-tip to the grate directly over the heat, fat side up, and reinsert the thermometer probe, if using. Direct grill until the top and bottom are sizzling, crusty and dark, and the internal temperature is 125 degrees for rare or 135 degrees for medium-rare, 3 to 6 minutes per side, turning with tongs.
- Transfer the tri-tip to a cutting board and thinly slice across the grain. (You do not need to rest the meat a second time.) Take time to notice the even color and doneness of the meat and to appreciate the intoxicating aroma of the wood smoke. Serve at once, while the steak is still hot.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Cut of Pork Shoulder: Select a pork shoulder steak that is at least 1 inch thick for best results. Look for steaks with good marbling, as this will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Tenderize the Pork Shoulder Steaks: Pounding the pork shoulder steaks with a meat mallet or using a fork to poke holes in them will help tenderize the meat and allow the marinade to penetrate more deeply.
- Use a flavorful Marinade: The marinade for the pork shoulder steaks should be flavorful and acidic to help break down the tough connective tissue in the meat. A good marinade might include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices.
- Cook the Pork Shoulder Steaks Over Medium-High Heat: This will help create a nice sear on the outside of the steaks while keeping the inside moist and tender. Be sure to cook the steaks for the recommended amount of time, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the Hot Pepper Dip: While the pork shoulder steaks are cooking, prepare the hot pepper dip. This can be done by combining diced tomatoes, green chiles, onions, cilantro, and spices in a blender or food processor. The dip should be spicy, but not too hot. Adjust the amount of chili peppers to taste.
- Serve the Pork Shoulder Steaks with the Hot Pepper Dip: Once the pork shoulder steaks are cooked, serve them immediately with the hot pepper dip. The dip can be served on the side or spooned over the steaks. Enjoy!
Conclusion:
Pork shoulder steaks are a delicious and affordable cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. This recipe for pork shoulder steaks with hot pepper dip is a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The steaks are marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices, then cooked over medium-high heat until tender. The hot pepper dip is a spicy and creamy complement to the pork shoulder steaks. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
