A Hidden Gem Cut

If you enjoy rich, old-fashioned pork flavor, this one’s worth trying. Picnic shoulder steak is a rustic cut that shines with gentle, low-and-slow cooking — and it’s one of the best values for big flavor. Sear it, then finish covered (braised or slow-cooked) until tender for a truly satisfying meal.

Picnic Shoulder Steak, Rustic Flavor for Slow Cooking


The picnic shoulder steak from Prairie Farmstead is cut from the lower shoulder and offers a deeper, more traditional pork flavor than leaner cuts.

This is a rustic, old-school cut that rewards slower cooking with rich, satisfying results.
Best thought of as a slow-cooked pork steak, this cut is ideal for cooks who enjoy braising, gentle grilling, or simmering until tender.

It’s not meant to cook like a chop — it’s meant to develop flavor over time.

How to Cook Picnic Shoulder Steak

For best results, cook this steak slowly and gently.

This cut shines in comfort-style meals and pairs well with roasted vegetables, beans, greens, or mashed potatoes.
