It's back-to-school time, but you're still in vacation mode. With shorter evenings after work, and hungry kids after school, you'll want a quick and delicious recipe for the BBQ. Try this Pork Abanico Steak with Squash & Potato Aloo Masala for a burst of big flavor. Using gourmet pork is a tasty upgrade from the usual. Lightly seasoned, the pork's full-bodied flavor is allowed to shine. Paired with flavorful and healthy potatoes and squash, this dinner will surprise and delight everyone.
Generously provided by our friends at The Meatery, these Iberico Pork Abanico Steaks, pronounced Ah-Ban-Ick-Oh, are perfect for the grill. Thanks to their rich fat striations and loose muscle fibers, these high-quality pork steaks are best grilled to medium, 145°F (63°C). They are supremely flavorful, succulent, and easy to cook. Like Japanese Wagyu, the quality of the meat means you don’t need much to be satisfied, so splitting a 12-oz (340 g) steak between two people will ensure that everyone is happy.

- 1 to 2 Iberico Pork Abanico Steaks
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
**You can sub in pork loin, tenderloin, or pork shoulder steaks – which cook just like a beef ribeye
Squash & Potato Aloo Masala
- 1 delicata or acorn squash, peeled and cubed
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tbsp. cornstarch
- 2 tbsp. oil
- ¼ tsp. Hing powder (asafoetida powder), optional
- 1 tsp. cumin seeds, sub in ground cumin
- 1 tsp. mustard seeds, sub in mustard powder
- 2 tbsp. coriander powder
- ¼ tsp. chili powder
- ½ tsp. turmeric powder
- Salt to taste
- Thoroughly, but lightly, season the pork with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
- Scrub, peel, and cube the squash and the potatoes. Boil the potatoes and squash together until just fork tender. Drain and toss them into a bowl, coating them with the spices and cornstarch.
- Preheat the grill to high using all burners. Place a grilling wok onto the grids to preheat with the grill.
- When the grill is hot, Brush the grill wok with some of the oil, then drizzle the remaining oil over the potato and squash mixture. Toss the mixture into the preheated grill wok and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, moving occasionally, until the spices have toasted and the potatoes and squash begin to get crispy.
- Meanwhile, bring the seasoned Iberico Pork Abanico Steaks out to the grill. Sear the pork for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, moving frequently to ensure as much of the surface area as possible gets hit with heat. You want loads of char marks and caramelization on the outside. Cook to an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) and remove it from the heat to finish while resting. The final temperature should be 145°F (63°C).
- Serve the Pork Abanico sliced over top of large helpings of the Squash and Potato Masala Aloo. Enjoy with a Reisling or Pinot (Noir or Grisio will be equally as good), or for a beer pairing, try an English-style bitter beer.
