Chipotle-Grilled Pork Shoulder Steaks with Corn Salsa image

Pork shoulder isn't just for pulled pork. Ask your butcher to cut it into steaks, and it'll soon become your favorite well-marbled and quick-cooking cut for grilling, especially when seasoned with this Mexican barbacoa-style rub.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tsp. chipotle chile powder
2 tsp. dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. ground allspice
2 3/4 tsp. (or more) kosher salt, divided
4 (3/4"-thick) boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt) steaks (about 2 lb.) or pork blade chops
Vegetable oil (for grill)
4 ears of corn, husked
1/2 small white onion, finely chopped
1 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1 cup crumbled Cotija or feta (about 5 oz.)
1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
Flaky sea salt
Lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Mix chile powder, oregano, garlic powder, allspice, and 2 tsp. kosher salt in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture all over pork steaks. Let sit at room temperature at least 15 minutes.
  • Prepare a grill for medium heat; oil grate. Grill pork and corn, turning occasionally, until pork is deeply charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F for medium, and the corn is lightly charred all over, 7-9 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Let corn cool slightly. Slice kernels off cobs into a large bowl. Add onion, season with 3/4 tsp. kosher salt, and stir to combine. Stir in cilantro, cheese, pumpkin seeds, and lime juice; taste salsa and season with more kosher salt if needed.
  • Transfer pork to a platter. Drizzle any accumulated juices left on cutting board over; sprinkle with sea salt. Top with corn salsa and serve with lime wedges alongside.
  • Do Ahead: Pork can be seasoned 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Let sit at room temperature 15 minutes before grilling.

I found that the pork shoulder steaks cooked a little faster than the recipe said. I had to take them off the grill a few minutes early so they wouldn't overcook.

The chipotle marinade is a bit spicy, so if you don't like spicy food, you may want to reduce the amount of chipotle powder.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork shoulder. I had some leftover from a party and this was the perfect way to use it up.

The corn salsa was easy to make and added a nice pop of freshness to the dish. I especially liked the addition of cilantro and lime juice.

I'm not usually a fan of pork shoulder, but this recipe changed my mind. The chipotle marinade really tenderized the meat and gave it a delicious smoky flavor.

This recipe was a hit at my last cookout! The pork shoulder steaks were so tender and flavorful, and the corn salsa was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making this again.
