Cooking Tips

We partnered with Southside Market and Barbeque, the oldest BBQ joint in Texas, to bring you smoked, fully cooked Kurobuta pork steaks. Pork steaks are a specialty of Central Texas, where they are a local smokehouse legend.

Southside uses our Kurobuta pork collars (often used for pulled pork) to cut savory steaks and smokes them using their special recipe. Salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper and garlic harmonize with the rich Kurobuta pork for a delicious flavor with a touch of spice. The steaks arrive fully cooked and frozen. Just reheat in the oven or on the grill and get ready to feast on a regional Texas delicacy.

Average weight: 8 oz. Each package contains 2 steaks.

Thaw pork steaks completely before heating. Avoid overcooking. Keep in mind the steaks are fully cooked and simply requires reheating. Cooking times and temperatures can vary depending on your equipment. 

GRILL: Wrap in foil and place on BBQ pit/grill over indirect heat (300°F) until internal temperature reaches 165°F. 

OVEN: Wrap in foil and place in a 350°F conventional oven for specified time or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. 

For best results, don't exceed 20 to 30 minutes of cook time.

What is Kurobuta Pork?

Kurobuta is a heritage breed with flavor superior to commodity pork. This premium pork is known as Berkshire in England and Kurobuta in Japan, where it is considered the culinary equivalent of Wagyu beef. Kurobuta contains abundant marbling for a heightened flavor profile and higher pH which creates a deep pink color and an increased moisture content. The result is pork with robust juicy flavor, tender texture and a hint of natural sweetness.
