Help on center cut pork steaks
« on: December 18, 2014, 01:28:22 PM »
For my first smoke, I am going to try do 1 1/4 thick center cut pork steaks. Look thru the forum, did not see anything on this. Dose anybody have any ideas on this, temp, time, and or other Recipes. I wanting to use Strawberry's dry rub. Will most likely have 3 racks full.

I buy the thick cut pork chops and butterfly them, stuff them and smoke to an IT of 145.


At 230 - 240, it takes about 45 minutes.

Dave, they look good, are they stuffed with regular bread stuffing?

Brown a pound of your favorite sausage and mix with a box of stove top stuffing.  It is pretty close to 50/50 bread & meat stuffing.

Here is a pic of the center.

A couple hours in a brine won't hurt either. These are obviously lean cuts.

I do chops like this with a 2 hours swim in the pork butt brine, then olive oil and Famous Dave's Rib Rub.  235 until IT of 145.  Reverse-sear on the grill, if necessary.

Thanks Tony I am going to attempt this for Sunday. With 3 racks full, will I have to worry about any one getting done before the other. I have a Maverick 733 coming today. Will I probe the top or bottom rack?

I'd probe the bottom rack, Scott - they'll cook faster.
