Sounds wonderful! Save for the fact that it did not involve grilling
at all. ;-)

I'm a born and bred St Louisan, and I grew up eating grilled BBQ pork
steaks! In fact they kind of define grilling and BBQ in my family.
Grill 'em for an hour on an open charcoal grill, have plenty of cheap
water beer to put out the flare-ups (save the good beer for the
chef!), render out a lot of the fat, sauce at the end of grilling and
HAVE SOME BARBEQUE!! :-)

I love 'em so much I took over grilling as a young adolescent (plus I
love playing with fire!)

I think this is why some men who would otherwise balk at "cooking"
gravitate toward the grill. Barbecuing is a way to satisfy pyromaniac
tendencies in a controlled fashion. In my household, the SO can concoct
some fine stuff in the kitchen, but he'll fire up the grill in the dead
of winter just to cook burgers.

Ever give a small burning briquette ember a good swift kick after
grilling and breaking down the grill? I have! In the dusk of evening
they make spectacular fireworks!! :-)

I don't know if anyone here has ever watched the show 'Still Standing' (Mark
Addy, Jami Gertz, pretty funny 2002 sitcom). In one episode he watched a
cooking show and decided to make pasta puttanesca. He discovered he liked
to cook. But he didn't want to get stuck with kitchen detail so he hid the
fact he can cook from his wife. Of course she found out. She was thrilled
until she found him wearing a frilly apron...

Surprised to see pork steak from shoulder get tender that quickly but it
sounds ok... better than the crockpot I suppose since you were able to
grill/sear it first.

When I do pork steaks in red chile sauce on the stovetop they take at least
twice that long to get tender. 2 1/2 hours seems ideal. But I think my temps
might be lower.

We have a gas grill. I try to keep SO's pyromaniac tendencies under
control (especially with the number of trees in the yard), but it's not
easy.
