Sometimes the best meat in the butcher’s case isn’t beef. Pork shoulder is virtually guaranteed to be pleasantly fatty and flavorful.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

Sauce:

2 Tbsp. finely grated peeled horseradish or 1 Tbsp. (packed) drained prepared horseradish
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. whole grain mustard
1 tsp. honey
Kosher salt

Steak and assembly:

1 toasted nori sheet (optional)
1 Tbsp. ground coriander
1 Tbsp. mustard powder
2 tsp. light brown sugar
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
Vegetable oil (for grill)
4 (¾"-thick) pork shoulder steaks (1½–2 lb.)
Kosher salt
2 Tbsp. finely grated peeled horseradish or 1 Tbsp. (packed) drained prepared horseradish
Special Equipment: A spice mill or mortar and pestle

Preparation

  1. Sauce:

    Step 1

    Mix horseradish, both mustards, and honey in a small bowl to combine; season with salt.

  2. Steak and assembly:

    Step 2

    If using nori, finely grind in a spice mill or mortar and pestle. Mix coriander, mustard powder, brown sugar, pepper, garlic powder, and half of nori powder (if using) in a small bowl. This is your dry rub. Set remaining nori powder aside for serving.

    Step 3

    Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Season steaks generously with salt. Sprinkle generously all over with dry rub. Grill, turning every 1–2 minutes, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of pork registers 140°F, 7–9 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5–10 minutes before thinly slicing.

    Step 4

    Spread mustard sauce onto plates and arrange pork over. Top with horseradish and sprinkle with reserved nori powder.

Moo Ping (Thai Grilled Pork Skewers)
This version of pork skewers is made in the oven, which tastes just as good, but you could always throw these on the grill for a version closer to the original.
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Grape Dumplings
Native American people made these with cornmeal dumplings, simmering them with wild grapes, which were harvested at their peak sweetness.
Fufu
Fufu is a dish that has been passed down through many generations and is seen as a symbol of Ghanaian identity and heritage. Making fufu traditionally is a very laborious task; this recipe mimics some of that hard work but with a few home-cook hacks that make for a far easier time.
Southern Thai Fried Chicken (Gai Tod Hat Yai)
This is one of the best fried chickens ever. From southern Thailand, gai hat yai is known for its crispy skin, great aromatics, and super juicy meat.
Not-So-Secret Burger Sauce
Every sauce needs a few secrets. Ours is smoky, sweet, and savory—use it for burgers, fries, tenders, and more.
Stir-Fried Phở Noodles With Beef
This dish is not only a quick meal option but also a practical way to use leftover phở noodles when you’re out of broth.
Palets Bretons
Palets bretons are oversize cookies that feature butter, and because they’re from Brittany, they’re traditionally made with beurre salé, salted butter.
