St. Louis "inspired" pork steaks, BBQ sauce, and potatoes
The idea for this recipe came after watching the St. Louis episode of Andrew Zimmern's Delicious Destinations, where they featured a really tasty looking barbecue pork steak slathered in sauce. I'm a sucker for pork, and there was just enough info given by the show to go on, so I took the idea and ran with it. With a few changes. First, I made mine in the oven, because I didn't feel like barbecuing in the cold and rain. Second, I based my sauce off one I found from the New York Times. Honestly, it tasted terrible (I must've screwed it up somehow), but a few extra ingredients fixed the problem. And third, I cooked my steaks atop some potatoes, because I was feeling lazy and don't want to cook a separate starch. The end result of all this was really good, really tender, barbecue pork with potatoes. I have no idea if it was anywhere close to authentic, but my family didn't seem to care and happily ate it up.
For the sake of trying something new, I uploaded a vid to YouTube of me making this recipe. It's only open to people who know the link (i.e. fellow Cookpadders). It isn't very good, but I uploaded it anyway because I didn't want to throw away the many, many hours it took to make it. And the next vid will be better. The link is:

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Combine the rub ingredients well, then massage it into the pork steaks. Wrap the steaks in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for at least 1 hour.
- 2
Toss the potatoes with a good pinch of salt, several grinds of black pepper, and a small splash of veg oil. Lay them out on a deep-sided baking dish, and place the steaks on top. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 325 F oven for 2 hours.
- 3
Add all the sauce ingredients to a small pot and put it on medium-low heat. Let simmer for 5 minutes, then finish with a pinch more salt and a few more grinds of black pepper.
- 4
Once the steaks are done, remove them from the dish and pull out the potatoes. Cover the potatoes with foil to keep them warm until ready to serve. Drain the oil from the baking dish and return the steaks. Coat them with half of the sauce, then put them back in the oven on high broil for about 5 minutes. Keep an eye out so they don't burn. Once they get a little bit of barbecuey char, they're ready to serve with the potatoes.

Kansas City BBQ Sauce Kansas City BBQ Sauce
My sauce adventures continue with Kansas City BBQ sauce. This is a thick, sweet and tangy sauce. Because of its thickness it tends to sit on top of the meat rather than bake in much. The high sugar content can cause it to burn over hot coals, so best brushed on in the latter stages of grilling.

Montgomery Inn is a company with four restaurants, off-premise catering, mail order and retail departments around Cincinnati, Ohio.

The family-owned company began on November 1, 1951, when founder Ted Gregory took over McCabe's Inn in Montgomery, Ohio.

Root Beer BBQ Sauce Root Beer BBQ Sauce
I was planning to cook a steak today. Rather than giving the steak a spice rub, I opted to make a barbecue sauce utilizing the root beer in the fridge. It turned out well. I scored this little cast iron pot when I went to the store, so I was able to make the sauce on the grill.
