To prevent flare ups on the charcoal barbecue, use a griddle stone next to the coals. It allows you to sear and smoke thick and marbled pork steaks at high heat, without burn from flare ups.

You buy a whole fresh 10 pound pork shoulder, bone in, cut 1” thick pork steaks, one pound each. Freeze unused steaks individually.

Serve with apple potato mash and apple sauce with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top, recipes in here.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
