A pork steak, also called pork blade steak, is a steak cut from the shoulder of the pig. Pork steaks are mentioned as far back as 1739, though without details about how they were cut or how they were cooked.

Pork steaks are considered a cheaper cut of meat, and they are often found on sale. Bibliography * Robert F.
