Fired up some pork steaks for the fourth . Ended up using the Genesis 310 . Weather was miserable and the gas grill does a good job .
Soaked over night in zesty Italian dressing .

I get the grill screaming hot . I go right from the soak to the grill , and do the first flip pretty quick .
That way both sides get a good sear and seal up the inside .

The sugars in the dressing start to caramelize .

Starting the sauce .

I did the ribs the day before on the SmokeFire .
Getting a reheat and some sauce .

I keep saucing and flipping . Looking to get that fatty edge charred and crispy .

Good color , and nice and tender .

I pull them and into a covered dish . Then in the oven at low heat .
About 200 . Just holding until the rest is done .

That edge is the part I look for .

I haven't done BB in a long time . This slab was $10.00 compared to $28.00 for spares .
I had to wrap for an hour , because they didn't want to get tender .
That did the trick . To me ribs are always better the next day , and the SmokeFire makes a great rack of ribs .
Held over night and reheated on the Fourth .

Had my plate a bit to full , but I managed .

The ribs were completely tender . I was surprised . I picked a rack that didn't have loin meat on it ,
so that helped .
Daughter made the pasta salad . It was good .
Italian dressing , pepperoni , peppers , black olives
cherry tomatoes and some motz cubes .

Son made the mayo bread . That's always good .

OK , that's enough from me for awhile .
Thanks for looking .
 
That's a plateful of great looking food Rich! I haven't had pork steaks in forever...maybe ate too many of them for awhile. That bread looks delicious!

Looks good Rich. We did spares on the fourth as well at the firehouse. They just went on sale here for $0.99/# so I am stocking up again.....
That's a great price . I bought the BB's because they were cheaper .
They turned out great . Nice and tender .
Thanks for lookin .
 
Nice job Rich!
The color on both is awesome!
I used to get BB’s w/o the loin meat from WFF, but not so much lately, so I’m back to STL’s. But for that price I would buy the BB’s & cut the loin meat off, and cook it separately.

. Nailed the Pork steaks and love the sound of the pasta salad
Thanks Jake . My Daughter does a good job with that stuff . I try to get both of them involved in the meals . She's making Buffalo chicken pasta in the instant pot tonight .
Pork paradise! Great looking meal.
That pasta salad is talking to me, been a while.
The salad is great on a hot day . You can really make it a meal depending on what you add .
Thanks for the comment .
Nice job Rich!

Thanks Al . Since I put the 16 ga. parts in my Genesis , it really changed the way it cooks .
Nice color on that pig meat and a great looking dish,
It hit the spot for sure . Had leftovers last night .
Thanks for lookin' bud .
Fantastic!!
Nice Job, Rich!!
Even the salad looks Great !!
Thank you John . I never used to eat any type of salad . Now I look forward to it .
Nice plate of pork! Those steaks look tasty!
Thanks . Yup , love that charred fatty edge . Brown sugar and hickory BBQ sauce cooked on really adds to it .
 
There’s no better way to celebrate the 4th than right there! I’d take a loaded plate of everything you got and the pasta salad just screams summer to me!
