The Mangalitsa shoulder steak (1–2 lbs) is a well-marbled cut from the upper shoulder, offering a flavorful balance of rich fat and connective tissue. This cut shines with its deep, pork-forward flavor and juicy texture, thanks to the Mangalitsa’s naturally high-fat content. Perfect for grilling or slow cooking.
Texture and Flavor:
Bold and savory, the shoulder steak is rich with intramuscular fat that melts during cooking, enhancing both tenderness and flavor. It delivers a hearty bite with a luscious, buttery finish characteristic of Mangalitsa pork.
Cooking:
Versatile and delicious, this steak performs well with reverse searing, pan roasting, or grilling over medium heat. It can also be slow-cooked or braised for a more tender, fall-apart result. For best flavor, cook to medium and let the fat render gently.
Use:
Ideal for hearty dinners, elevated barbecue plates, or gourmet pork entrees. Whether sliced for a rustic presentation or served whole, it’s a standout cut perfect for casual meals or special occasions.
Conventional pork is bred for leanness, resulting in pale meat lacking flavor and moisture. One look at our Mangalitsa pork tells a different story – the meat is richly red with beautiful marbling throughout. This isn't just a visual difference. The deep color indicates higher myoglobin content and intramuscular fat, translating directly to more flavor and moisture in every bite. When you cook our pork, you'll notice it stays juicy and tender, even if you accidentally overcook it a bit.
