Pulled Pork Barbeque Recipe
A pulled pork barbeque recipe sounds like an extremely strenuous business but it’s not, it’s simply down to a gentle, slow cooking process that makes it ideal for the smoker (although many a good pulled pork has been rustled up in a slow cooker or a traditional oven).
This one is my traditional recipe designed to give you all the flavors of the south where pulled pork is the BBQ staple.
This recipe calls for a vinegar sauce typical of "the South" and after that all you need is a pork butt and few basic spices and were ready to go.
Pulled pork is so called because of the way that it is served up. As it says, it’s literally been pulled apart. Nowadays it can be served chopped or shredded (although traditionalist would probably shun this) but one thing remains true and that is the final presentation – in a bun with
barbecue sauce
and a
coleslaw
side.
Allow plenty of time for a pulled pork cookout. You’ll need about 90 to 120 minutes per pound of meat and then a further 60 for standing before it’s ready to shred. In this pulled pork barbeque recipe there’s a rub and as a pre-cursor to that I like to soak my pork butt in the
vinegar sauce
just to give the rub something to stick to.
Preparation Time:- 30 mins Cooking Time:- 7hrs Resting Time:- 1hr
Mix up all the dry ingredients to make your rub. Baste the pork in
vinegar sauce
and then rub in all of the rub leaving some of the vinegar sauce for later basting. Leave the rub to work its way into the meat for a hour or so before cooking.
Give the pork 5 hours in the smoker at 220°F or 105°C and then pour over a little of the remaining vinegar sauce. Repeat this on the hour for the next two hours then remove the pork and leave to sit for 60 minutes covered in foil. If you want to check the internal temperature at this stage, please do so – it should be 160°F.
When ready, remove the butt from the smoker and allow it to stand for an hour to let the meat relax before shredding.
After the hour, go to it with a couple of forks or a set of bear paws, pop it in a white bun and serve with your favorite
barbecue sauce
and
coleslaw
side.
