Kalbi-Style Pork Steak

You don’t need expensive cuts to make incredible BBQ. At $2.49lb and 14 cut steaks, this is my new favorite Kalbi style cook. This entire recipe starts with a pork butt that I partially froze to make slicing easier. I got a 2-pack pork butt from Costco at $34. I separated the money muscle and sliced it into thin pork steaks, then saved the rest of the pork butt to make pulled pork later. One cut, two meals, and every dollar goes further. I am truly grateful for everyone’s support. I wouldn’t be able to chase my dreams without you all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏🤙 The marinade couldn’t be easier: • @mryoshidas Uncle Yoshida’s Original Gourmet Sauce • Sesame oil • Puréed Japanese pear
