Pork Steaks

Southside Market & Barbeque ships its famous pork steaks nationwide on Goldbelly! Southside’s Pork Steaks have long been a local legend. They are so well-liked, there are other BBQ joints who offer them today strictly based on the popularity and reputation of Southside’s own top-quality Pork Steaks. This passion for pork steaks is very specific to the Central Texas region. Cut from the Boston Butt, it is the same cut other places use for pulled pork. In Central Texas, steaks are preffered!

Back in 1882, when the first cuts of meat were sold from Southside Market’s founder William Moon’s wagon, his mantra was “Butcher today, deliver tomorrow.” Without refrigeration, the unsold fresh cuts of meat were preserved by smoking and spiced to make sausages. It wasn’t long before these “hot guts” became famous, with people all over coming to Elgin, Texas, to sample their smoked sausages. While Southside Market’s owners have changed in the past 135 years, their dedication to crafting the best sausages in Texas has not, which is why nearly a century and a half since that first cut of meat was sold, Elgin is known as the Sausage Capital of Texas.
