Just got back from holiday in Mallorca and had these on the bbq – they were divine. How can I get my local (irish) butcher to cut some for me? Thanks in advance.

Ask for thin cut pork shoulder steaks
Edit: or collar steaks, different names for the same thing

This is a boneless shoulder steak.

Definitely looks like shoulder. I don’t know about Ireland but in the US Duroc is a specialty breed of pig that will cost quite a bit more. Sort of like Wagyu beef. Over here we mostly have commodity pork that is bred to be extra lean and grow super fast. Pork shoulder steaks usually carry enough fat to still be tasty though.

It’s because that pig was probably pasture raised on a diet of wild foods they would naturally eat. It’s a heritage breed of pig “Duroc” so you would have to find a specific breed that was raised in ideal conditions to have your pork shoulder steak taste that great.

Pork Collar steak for sure, delicious on the grill, super tender

I get a lot of Duroc from wild fork. Tastes like I’m eating people but yes, the closest you get to a beef steak with the best aspects of pork. (like us 🙂
Oh those heady days of piracy, missed friends and cannibalism – a rather tender subject.

It’s the collar. Aka money muscle aka boneless butt. This sits just under the scapula in the shoulder. Delicious as a steak but a very popular input for many products including coppa and capocollo.
