Equipment
Ingredients
- 800 grams pork t-bone 2 pieces
- 2 cloves of garlic smashed
- 1½ tbsp apple syrup or molasses
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tbsp ground black pepper
- ½ tbsp finishing salt
- 1 branch thyme
Honey Sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp PitmasterX's Classic BBQ rub
Instructions
- Inspect your T-bone;s before you start. We want a clean t-bone not to mucht fat no weird anomalies out of the order.
- Score the fat cap in 2 directions with your knife. This wel help the fat to render down faster during the cook.
- Grab a tray and smash 2 cloves of garlic on to your cutting board. We want the flavor in our marinade but not want actual pieces of garlic because it can burn during our cook.
- Add 1½ tbsp of Apple syrup and 3 tbsp of olive oil to it and start mixing with a fork trough that garlic oil and syrup. The oil is going to be your vehicle for combining the two other ingredients.
- Add some ½ tbsp of salt and pepper along with a branch of thyme to the marinade.
- Use that same fork to slightly penetratre holes into the sides of your t-bones. you can pinch the fat cap as well but only on the side.
- Mix your t-bones with the marinade and set it asside for 4 hours.
Fire up the Kamado Joe
- Fire up your charcoal and create an indirect zone and a direct zone with your heat deflector and grill grates. One grill grate set to the lowest position and one with a higher setting and a heat deflector in between the charcoal and the grill grate.
- Give your pork 30 minutes on each side to come up to temperature.
- If the temperatures rise to fast you can always close down the vents at the end.
- After one hour it's time to sear of on extreme high temperatures for that final stretch of caremalization.
- Give them a pinch of salt to amplify the flavor at the start opf the searing session.
- When they hit a temperature of 60 degrees selcius it time to take them off and let it rest.
Honey Sauce

- Slice up your pork steak and dunk it in the sauce and voila; Best pork steaks in the world at your doorstep.
