Chipotle-Grilled Pork Shoulder Steaks with Corn Salsa

Ingredients for Chipotle-Grilled Pork Shoulder Steaks with Corn Salsa

• 2 teaspoons chipotle chilli powder

• 2 teaspoons dried oregano

• 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon ground allspice

• 2 3/4 teaspoons (or more) kosher salt, divided

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

• Vegetable oil (for grill)

• 4 ears of corn, husked

• 1/2 small white onion, finely chopped

• 1 cup coriander, finely chopped

• 150g crumbled Cotija or feta (about 140g )

• 70g toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

• Flaky sea salt

• Lime wedges (for serving)

Mix chilli powder, oregano, garlic powder, allspice, and 2 teaspoons kosher salt in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture all over pork steaks. Let sit at room temperature at least 15 minutes.

Prepare a grill for medium heat; oil grate. Grill pork and corn, turning occasionally, until pork is deeply charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 63°C for medium, and the corn is lightly charred all over, 7–9 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.

Let corn cool slightly. Slice kernels off cobs into a large bowl. Add onion, season with 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, and stir to combine. Stir in coriander, cheese, pumpkin seeds, and lime juice; taste salsa and season with more kosher salt if needed.

Transfer pork to a platter. Drizzle any accumulated juices left on cutting board over; sprinkle with sea salt. Top with corn salsa and serve with lime wedges alongside.

Do Ahead: Pork can be seasoned 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Let sit at room temperature 15 minutes before grilling.
