Equipment

  • Smoker or Grill
  • Meat Thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs pork shoulder
  • 4 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp paprika powder
  • 1 tbsp chili flakes or powder
  • olive oil for brushing

Instructions
 

  • If you are using a charcoal grill, make some smoke bombs by wrapping wood chips into aluminum foil.
  • Mix the spices in a bowl to make a dry rub and then rub it all over the meat.
  • Light up the charcoals and distribute them on both sides of the grill. Add some wood chips directly on the hot charcoals and then place the smoke bombs on top.
  • Place the meat in the middle of the grill over indirect heat and close the lid. Leave the top air vents slightly open. The temperature inside your grill should be about 250 degrees Fahrenheit (or 120 Celsius).
  • Smoke the pork shoulder until the internal temperature is about 145 degrees Fahrenheit (about 63 Celsius). This should take about 3 hours.
  • Remove the meat from the grill, put it into a large bowl, and cover with foil.
  • Add more charcoal to the grill and light it up. Distribute evenly on the grill to create a very hot cooking surface.
  • Slice the pork shoulder into steaks that are about 1-inch thick. Then brush lightly with olive oil and add some dry rub on both sides.
  • Sear the steaks for about 2 minutes per side or until they have nice and crispy surface.
  • Remove the steaks from the grill, put them into a large bowl, and cover with foil. Let the steaks rest for about 10 minutes before serving them.
