Western Ribs and pork steaks are my absolute favorite pork cuts, thank you for making this video. I usually buy these and grind it all up to make my own sausage, but now I will be making all this stuff with them as well.
THANK YOU FOR AN OUTSTANDING 4 YEAR OLD EDUCATIONAL BUTCHERING VIDEO!! My wonderful father-in-law taught me how to smoke pork ribs, pork steaks and "country ribs". However, I didn't know for many years what the difference was between the cuts aside from them all being "pork cuts" producing great BBQ that everyone enjoyed and all had a favorite! (FYI: His family perfected an "Oklahoma Secret" Dry Rub Seasoning Blend had some to do with the fantastic outcome!!) My wife's favorite was always the "boneless country ribs" but I enjoyed his spare ribs better. He cooked these on his backyard built brick smoker w/ only Hickory wood that I could just never duplicate. I did OK with an offset stick burner for years and have now unfortunately had to transitioned to a pellet grill. I've been able to find boneless country ribs at Costco for my wife's favorite! Everyone has also enjoyed the Spare and St. Louis Ribs I've cooked every 4th of July celebration. God Bless America !
Thank you for the education and sharing of your knowledge and expertise. Very kind of you to do what you are doing and the purpose of your channel. Peace!
Ty for this video. I was just commenting on another video where they removed the bone from the pork butt. I had always wanted to debone one and cut into pieces resembling country ribs. Butt now thankfully thats exactly what I will be creating. So glad to see this video. Makes me want to buy a meat saw. Pork steaks another favorite.
I cannot thank you enough for this video. With meat prices as high as they are in East Texas this is invaluable information for families! Pork butt is on sale this week for $1.27/lb & I didn't know what to do with it besides smoke it or throw it in a crockpot whole & shred it. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
We usually have a hog butchered every year for specific cuts, bacon, sausages, etc. The only thing we usually buy at the grocery store will be a Boston butt (sometimes a tenderloin) every couple of weeks. For $12-17, you can get enough different cuts to have several different meals. They're extremely versatile. It also helps to have and maintain sharp butcher knives too. 😉
Pork steaks are a staple food where im from but having been around the US quite a bit ive olny seen them outside of missouri 3 times in rural towns in Tennessee and texas
Thank you for the very detailed explanation! Just bought my first "butt pack" today and now I'll not (literally) butcher it too badly! Quick question if I may: What you left for the roasts....could those be cut for steaks (or "ribs") as well?
It’s actually my favorite rib to make. I par boil for 20 minutes with fresh onions garlic and season salt. Then transfer to grill or oven and slowly add layers of favorite BBQ sauce.
@@StraightOffTheBlock Thanks for the video, just what I was looking for! Country Ribs here (Manitoba Canada) go into the slow cooker with bottle of beer and other fixings to make a BBQ sauce. But the cut of meat is really hard to find.

Glad you're back. 🥩 🔪
GrillingJEDI Thanks, I guess I have to get used to people leaving ignorant comments and just keep moving forward. Lol
You can slice it open like an unrolled jelly roll and it thru the middle to make what looks like 2 long boneless rib strips.

This was very informative but if I’m being honest, I lost the orientation of the bone to the ends of the butt if that makes sense.
Thanks for sharing this. Most info just says "pulled pork" and I get tired of pulled pork 🙂
Hi. Thanks for the video. When you are cutting the boneless ribs, are you cutting with the grain or against?
What would it be called, if you cut a chuck roast this way?
Chuck steaks, chuck roast, boneless short ribs etc etc
@@StraightOffTheBlock Thank You, now I gotta get me some boneless short ribs.
Awsome
Thank you so much for your intro on names. "this is a pork butt, not a butt. this is a butt."
Haha
what brand of knife is that??
I only use forschner brand knives
what brand of glove is that? i cant seem to find any!!
This is just a pair of basic brown cotton gloves with a blue nitrile glove 🧤 over top. To keep my hands dry and warm.
what type of price is meat wholesale?? what type of markup??
My current cost for this cut is 1.32 lb
I retail the steaks for 3.99lb and the roasts for 3.49 lb
Are you "gonna go ahead and" do everything, or will you just do it.
Thank you for the very detailed explanation! Just bought my first "butt pack" today and now I'll not (literally) butcher it too badly! Quick question if I may: What you left for the roasts....could those be cut for steaks (or "ribs") as well?
Yes, they can be cut entirely into steaks or ribs. Was just showing different possible cuts.
@@StraightOffTheBlock Thank you! I figured as much but thought I better ask. I'll be tackling it tomorrow!
Western ribs must be pretty hot where you are! We don't see these around here at all.

They're called country ribs in my area.
