I bought a pork steak last week at the grocery store. It was something you could get all the time in St. Louis and I used to have them regularly. You see them once in a while here, but not all the time.  I got one to have over the weekend.  I sort of stew them with fruit and a little barbecue sauce.  Various people in the family make pork ribs with orange or lemon slices.  I've done pork steaks with those and sliced apple works well too.  This time I had some pears and tried that.  I see why people don't often use them in cooking anymore.  Fresh pears often have a little gritty texture in spots and I had a little of that in the finished product.  But overall it worked well.  The pear soaked up some of the spice from the barbecue sauce and was pretty zippy.   If I try using pear again sometime, I think I'd use a milder sauce.  But it was good anyway.
