4 (1 to 1-1/4 inch thick) pork shoulder steaks
1/2 Cup mustard
As Needed Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub
1/2 Cup apple juice
1 Cup Traeger 'Que BBQ Sauce

Step

  • 1

    Slather the pork steaks on all sides with the mustard and season with the Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub. (The mustard will help keep the pork moist, but the taste will be unnoticeable in the final product.)

  • 2

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 180˚F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke if available.

    180 ˚F / 82 ˚C

  • 3

    Arrange the steaks on the grill grate. Smoke for 1-1/2 hours.

    Remove the pork steaks to a plate and increase temperature to 225°F. Preheat 5 to 10 minutes.

    225 ˚F / 107 ˚C

  • 5

    Meanwhile, wrap each steak with aluminum foil, adding in a couple tablespoons of apple juice.

  • 6

    Cook the steaks for another hour or so or until they are tender (about 160°F on an instant-read meat thermometer).

    225 ˚F / 107 ˚C

    160 ˚F / 71 ˚C

  • 7

    The last 15 minutes, take the pork steaks out of the foil and put them directly on the grill.

  • 8

    Brush each steak on both sides with the Traeger 'Que BBQ Sauce or your favorite barbecue sauce.

  • 9

    Let the steaks rest for 3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
