You rarely hear about pork steaks, anymore. This is probably because steaks are cut from parts of the pig that can command a higher price in other applications. Pork steaks can be cut from the loin (used for chops), the leg (used for ham), or the shoulder (used for pulled pork).
That said, a “boneless chop” is a steak cut from the loin. But I’d hesitate to use it in this recipe, as it’s very lean, whereas a steak cut from the shoulder is going to be full of connective tissue. So you should probably make friends with your butcher, cut steaks from a whole shoulder yourself, or use another cut of meat that’s high in connective tissue, like boneless short rib.
