If you're looking for an alternative to steak to save money or simply change things up, look to another popular meat choice: pork shoulder.

Pork shoulder steak comes from

the pig's shoulder area. It's nicely marbled and offers a lot of the same things most popular steak cuts do: Rich flavor, juiciness, and tenderness.

Like steak, it can be grilled, pan-seared, or reverse-seared in an oven before it's finished on the stove or grill. Just be careful not to overcook it, as it can become chewy.

Pork shoulder steak can come bone-in, comparable to a T-bone, while

the boneless version is closer to a ribeye. Some pork shoulder steak includes a strip of fat along the edge.
