By MooK

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups catsup
• 2 cups beer
• 1/4 cup A.1. Sauce
• 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp cider vinegar
• 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp hot sauce
• 1 tsp liquid smoke
• 1 (5- to 6-pound) boneless pork shoulder roast, cut into steaks (three or four 1-inch-thick steaks)
• Pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk catsup, beer, A.1., sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, hot sauce and liquid smoke in large bowl. Transfer to large disposable aluminum pan.

Heat grill. Heat all burners on high, covered, for 15 minutes. (For charcoal grill, light about 100 coals. When covered with fine gray ash, spread evenly over bottom of grill. Set cooking grate in place and heat, covered, with lid vent open halfway, for 5 minutes.) Scrape and oil cooking grate.

Season pork steaks with pepper and grill until well-browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to pan with sauce, cover with foil, and place pan on grill. Turn all burners to low and cook, covered, until steaks are tender and sauce is slightly thickened, about 90 minutes.

Using potholders, remove pan from grill and turn all burners to high. (For charcoal grill, light about 50 coals. When covered with fine gray ash, remove grill grate and scatter evenly over spent coals.)

Remove steaks from pan and grill until lightly charred around edges, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Skim fat from sauce and serve with steaks.
