I only used the Wiki quote to simplfy describing the meat for you. It
is not only a Wiki opinion.
Here is just one source of delicious sounding recipes and photos for
porks steak.

It could be that they are not of interest to you as you have a greater
interest in Japanese cooking and seasonings and that's fine.

No problem with the misunderstanding, I recall that you may have
mentioned you have dyslexia and for that reason you don't read the
posts that you reply to. You do amazingly well with your problem.
