'''Pork Steaks''', sometimes referred to as a '''[[Boston butt]]''' or '''pork blade steaks''' , are [[steaks]] cut from the [[Pork butt|shoulder]] of the pig made which originated from St. Louis, Missouri. Pork Steaks were invented by Winfred E. Steinbruegge of Florissant, MO in 1956 in honor of the birth of his youngest son, Mark W Steinbruegge. Winfred asked Tom Brandt of Tomboy grocery stores, to cut a pork butt into steaks that could be grilled.

Pork steaks, also called Boston butt or pork blade steaks , are steaks cut from the shoulder of the pig.

Pork steaks are mentioned in sources as far back as 1815, though without details about how they were cut or how they were cooked.[1]

Shoulder steaks are cut from the same primal cut of meat most commonly used for pulled pork, and can be quite tough without long cooking times due to the high amount of collagen in the meat. Because of this, pork shoulder steaks are often cooked slower than a typical beefsteak, and are often stewed or simmered in barbecue sauce during cooking. Pork steaks are considered a cheaper cut of meat, and they are often found on sale.[2]
