I was in restaurant depot yesterday and noticed these. They were only 3 bucks per package so I picked up a few. They look like what I call the "flap" that is cut off the end of a spare rib. They are thicker but if I'm not mistaken, wouldn't that be the equivalent of a beef brisket? And if you look at the grain, it looks even more like a brisket.

Looks like Piggy Briskets like you said..... .
I'd cover them in PlowBoys Yardbird and run them till a Shish Kabob skewer glides in easily then chop one, slice one and cube one then resprinkle the cubes pan them and put them back on uncovered for 30-45 minutes and drizzle Sweet Baby Rays over them for last 10 minutes cuz
Pork Burnt Ends are Delicious!!!!!
 
If its a flap from the rib section, rub it, cook it vertical in a PBC or WSM over coals,(no pan), just did one last week and it was very tasty and moist.
 
I wish I could find that cut n price here. I'd load up. :mrgreen:
 
From Wikipedia

Pork steaks, sometimes referred to as a Boston butt or pork blade steak, aresteaks cut from the shoulder of the pig. [1] Shoulder steaks are cut from the sameprimal 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 shoulder steaks are a staple of St. Louis-style barbecue. Their creation is attributed to Jim Lysaught and Gil Smith, second-generation owners of Schnuckssupermarket chain.[2] Pork steaks are considered a cheaper cut of meat, and they are often found on sale. [3]


I'd love to get some of them at those prices......look real good :thumb:
 
Those look similar to pork flat iron steaks that RD had in their flyer recently

Not sure exactly what the cuts are, but they aren't blade steaks.

You're right, they don't look the same.......sure would like me some whatever the fark they are.
 
A little and research found this on the prairie fresh website, they actually call it a brisket steak even though its not labeled that way on the package.

That was my hunch, it's a sliced pork butt. The section away from the bone.
 
Sounds and looks like it would make a tasty steak
 
That sure does look like a brisket...

I have been getting "Pork Ribeyes" from HEB lately. They come preseasoned, but I always kick it up a little. They are great reverse seared with some thinned Spicy Stubb's brushed on them...

Here's what the cut looks like without the seasoning. Tender, juicy, fatty, pork deliciousness...
