How to make Chipotle-grilled pork shoulder steaks with corn salsa

1. Mix the chilli powder, oregano, garlic powder, allspice, and 2 teaspoons of kosher salt in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork steaks. Allow to sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.

2. Prepare the grill for medium heat and oil the grate. Grill the pork and corn, turning occasionally, until the pork is deeply charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 63°C for medium, and the corn is lightly charred all over, about 7–9 minutes.

3. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes.

4. Allow the corn to cool slightly, then slice the kernels off the cobs into a large bowl. Add the onion, season with ¾ teaspoon of kosher salt, and stir to combine. Stir in the coriander, cheese, pumpkin seeds, and lime juice; taste the salsa and season with more kosher salt if needed.

5. Transfer the pork to a serving platter. Drizzle any accumulated juices from the cutting board over the pork and sprinkle with sea salt. Top with the corn salsa and serve with lime wedges on the side.

6. Do Ahead: The pork can be seasoned up to 1 day in advance. Cover and chill in the fridge. Allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before grilling.
