Tootsie is famous for her pork steak and in this video, I will show you how to redo it at home!
You will need:
– 1 pork shoulder without the skin
– Cut the steaks: 2.5 inch (6cm) thick
– Apply some yellow mustard for the rub to stick on
– Simple Texas rub: 50% coarse salt or kosher salt / 50% cracked pepper
Set up the smoker at 120C (250F)
Cook the steaks in direct heat with grades at 60 cm over the coals
Let it smoke for 2 hours
To prepare the the mop, you will need
– 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
– 1 Onion
– 100g (4oz) of butter
– 120 ml (½ cup) Worcestershire Sauce
– 120 ml (½ cup) Cider Vinegar
– 1 tbsp Dried Mustard
– 500ml (2 cups) of water
Fry the onions with the vegetable oil.
Once the onions are soft, add butter, Worcestershire Sauce, Cider Vinegar, Dried Mustard
Stir it well
Add the water, let it cook for 10 min
Blend the mix as you don’t want to have any chunks
** make sure you keep the mop hot as it would cool down your steaks when you apply it**
Apply the mop every 40 min after the first 2 hours. Do not rub it as you would take the rub off!
When the internal temperature of the steak has reached 65C (149F), flip the steaks
Keep on adding more mop very 40 min.
Cook the steaks until the internal temperature has reached 85C (185C)
Let them rest for 30 min
Enjoy!!!!
