Pork Shoulder Steaks with Grilled Mustard Greens

These spiced pork shoulder steaks offer a sophisticated twist on a classic grilled dish, making them a perfect centrepiece for a healthy midweek dinner. The rub combines toasted fennel, mustard seeds and a hint of cinnamon to provide a deep, aromatic flavour that complements the richness of the pork. By using boneless shoulder steaks, you achieve a succulent result that remains tender after a short rest, especially when finished with a bright squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

This diabetes-friendly recipe is a fantastic way to introduce more leafy vegetables into your diet. The mustard greens are quickly charred on the grill to mellow their natural bitterness, resulting in a warm, savoury salad dressed in garlic and olive oil. High in protein and packed with nutrients, it is an excellent choice for those seeking a balanced, low-carbohydrate meal that does not compromise on texture or taste.

Ingredients for Pork Shoulder Steaks with Grilled Mustard Greens

  • 2 tablespoons fennel seeds

  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns

  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 4 (3/4"-thick) boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt) steaks (about 900g .) or pork blade chops

  • Koshersalt

  • 1 lemon, halved

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

  • 2 garlic cloves

  • 2 bunches mustard greens, leaves torn into large pieces

  • 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

  • Vegetable oil (for grill)

  • Koshersalt, nymalen peppar

  • Flaky sea salt

  • A spice mill or a mortar and pestle

Toast fennel and mustard seeds in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and mustard seeds are just beginning to pop, about 4 minutes. Transfer to spice mill or mortar and pestle and let cool. Add peppercorns and red pepper flakes and finely grind. Transfer to a small bowl and mix in cinnamon.

Season pork steaks generously with salt and rub all over with spice mixture. Cover and let sit at room temperature 1 hour.

Prepare a grill for medium heat; oil grate. Grill steaks, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 63°C for medium, 5–7 minutes. Transfer steaks to a cutting board, squeeze a lemon half over, and drizzle with olive oil. Let rest 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, grate garlic into a large bowl and whisk with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add mustard greens and toss to coat; season with kosher salt and pepper. Spread out greens over grate (save bowl) and grill until lightly charred and just wilted, about 45 seconds per side. Transfer back to bowl and squeeze remaining lemon half over. Add red pepper flakes and toss to coat.

Transfer greens to a platter. Thinly slice pork against the grain and place on top of greens. Drizzle any accumulated juices left on your cutting board over and sprinkle with sea salt.

Pork can be seasoned 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour before grilling.
