How to make Pork shoulder steaks with horseradish-mustard sauce

  1. Mix the horseradish, both mustards, and honey in a small bowl until well combined; season with salt.

  2. If using nori, finely grind it in a spice mill or using a mortar and pestle.

  3. In another small bowl, combine the coriander, mustard powder, brown sugar, pepper, garlic powder, and half of the nori powder (if using) to create your dry rub. Set the remaining nori powder aside for serving.

  4. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  5. Generously season the steaks with salt, then sprinkle the dry rub all over them.

  6. Grill the steaks, turning every 1–2 minutes, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork reads 60°C, about 7–9 minutes.

  7. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing thinly.

  8. Spread the mustard sauce onto plates and arrange the sliced pork over it.

  9. Top with horseradish and sprinkle with the reserved nori powder before serving.
