Best 7 Awesome Pulled Pork Bbq Recipes

PULLED PORK BARBECUE

Steps:

• Mix the paprika, garlic power, brown sugar, dry mustard, and salt together in a small bowl. Rub the spice blend all over the pork. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Put the pork in a roasting pan and roast it for about 6 hours. An instant-read thermometer stuck into the thickest part of the pork should register 170 degrees F, but basically, what you want to do is to roast it until it's falling apart.
• While the pork is roasting, make the barbecue sauce. Combine the vinegar, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, salt, cayenne, and black pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently, stirring, for 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Take it off the heat and let it sit until you're ready for it.
• When the pork is done, take it out of the oven and put it on a large platter. Allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes. While it's resting, deglaze the pan over medium heat with 3/4 cup water, scraping with a wooden spoon to pick up all of the browned bits. Reduce by about half. Pour that into the saucepan with the sauce and cook 5 minutes.
• While the pork is still warm, you want to "pull" the meat: Grab 2 forks. Using 1 to steady the meat, use the other to "pull" shreds of meat off the roast. Put the shredded pork in a bowl and pour half of the sauce over. Stir it all up well so that the pork is coated with the sauce.
• To serve, spoon the pulled pork mixture onto the bottom half of each hamburger bun, and top with some slaw. Serve with pickle spears and the remaining sauce on the side.
• Combine the cabbage, carrots, red onion, green onions, and chile in a large bowl. In another bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, and sugar. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss gently to mix. Season the cole slaw with the celery seed, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Chill for 2 hours in the refrigerator before serving.

PULLED PORK BBQ

Steps:

• 1. For rub: Mix all ingredients in a bowl. (Except for the optional liquid smoke)
• 2. For sauce: Combine in nonreactive saucepan, bring all ingredients to boil and simmer until it reduces to 1 1/2 cups.
• 3. For pork: Score the fat side of the pork butt with a knife, and you can also poke holes in the pork to get the rub throughout the meat. Thoroughly rub pork with enough rub to fully coat it.
• 4. Place in Plastic bag and refrigerate overnight
• 5. Take out pork and re-rub. You will probably not use all the rub, just add enough to coat it again, and rub it in well. And if you prefer, you can also pour on some liquid smoke at this point. I prefer hickory but you can use whatever you'd like.
• 6. Let the pork sit at room temperature for 2 hours
• 7. Roast on rack uncovered in oven at 250-275 degrees until falling apart tender. I like to use a broil pan so the fat can run under the roast and it's not sitting in a lot of fat. You can also cook this for 10 hours on low in a crock pot. just placing aluminum foil balls in the bottom to keep the pork from sitting in the grease, and this would also be fabulous cooked in a smoker.
• 8. It will take 7-8 hours, the internal temperature of the pork when done should be between 195 and 200 degrees.
• 9. Pull pork into pieces, toss with sauce

SWEET BABY RAY'S AWESOME TEN-HOUR PULLED PORK

Steps:

• 1. Chef's Note: The roast that you get will really make this thing rock. I use a pork shoulder with the bone in, because the ten-hour slow cooking gives it a chance to draw out the entire flavor from the bone, and flavor the pork. However, you could experiment with other cuts of pork, and see what happens.
• 2. Gather and prep all your ingredients. The work of a chef is never done.
• 3. Thoroughly combine all the spice rub ingredients together.
• 4. Chef's Note: I'm using a mild paprika, and a mild chili powder; however, there are HOT versions of both these spices, as I'm sure you're well aware. If you are using a hotter paprika and/or chili powder, then watch how much cayenne you put in the rub. But then, this is all about what YOU want. Make it as hot or mild as you desire.
• 5. Rub the dry spice ingredients into the pork roast.
• 6. Chef's Tip: To help the spices penetrate the pork, use a small pairing knife and cut slits into the pork. Make them about an inch in depth.
• 7. Chef's Note: Take your time here, and give it a thorough rubdown. Rub, Rub, Rub-a-Dub.
• 8. Wrap the roast in cling wrap, or cling foil (double layer), and place into the fridge overnight.
• 9. Chef's Tip: Give those spices a good chance to know the pork. In my opinion: from an absolute minimum of 8 hours, up to 2 days. I leave mine in the fridge for the full two days (just don't forget it's in there).
• 10. Chef's Note: Once you've placed the roast in the fridge there is nothing left to do but wait. Tick, Toc, Tick Toc.
• 11. After the prescribed waiting time, place the roast into your slow cooker... along with the beer (or water), and allow to slow cook for ten hours. Don't forget to remove the cling wrap...
• 12. Chef's Note: At the end of this process, the pork roast will be fall-off-the-bone tender.
• 13. Chef's Tip: If you're going for a bigger roast; say 7 or 8 pounds, you'll probably have to add an additional 1 to 1.5 hours to the cooking time, in order to get it fork tender.
• 14. Remove the roast from the slow cooker, and shred.
• 15. Chef's Note: They actually do make pork shredders (they look like something out of a horror movie: (Think) Nightmare on Elm Street), but the easiest way is just use two forks, and have at it. Or, you could always use your hands.
• 16. Chef's Note: Remove the remaining liquid from the slow cooker, and pour down the sink. Or, if you used beer, you might try to drink it... or not.
• 17. Return all the shredded pork back into the slow cooker, add 1.5 cups of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, combine with the pork, and cook on low for an additional hour.
• 18. Chef's Note: I use Sweet Baby Ray's classic BBQ sauce; however, you could use any BBQ sauce that you like.
• 19. Take a nice sturdy bun (like a Kaiser), and slice it open... Don't slice your hand.
• 20. Lay a generous amount of BBQ pork on the bottom, half. OH YEAH!
• 21. Add some additional Sweet Baby Ray's to the top, or put it in a side bowl for dipping... up to you (I prefer on the side).
• 22. Add some coleslaw.
• 23. Chef's Note: The coleslaw is optional; however, I consider a good pulled-pork sandwich without coleslaw a sacrilege.
• 24. Cover with the top, and serve with some tomatoes, and freshly made dill slices. Enjoy.
• 25. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

PULLED BBQ PORK

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute onions in oil until tender. Add the garlic, pepper flakes and pepper; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the tomatoes, brown sugar, vinegar, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire and cumin. Cook over medium heat until heated through and sugar is dissolved., Cut roast in half. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker; pour sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours or until meat is tender. Remove roast; cool slightly. Skim fat from cooking juices. Shred meat with 2 forks and return to the slow cooker. Heat through. With a slotted spoon, place 3/4 cup meat mixture on each roll.

AWESOME BBQ PULLED PORK, NO SMOKER OR BARBECUE NEEDED

Steps:

• Trim pork roast of as much visible fat as possible. (since this is not going into a barbecue or smoker, you don't need the fat to keep the meat juicy).
• Wet the roast all over with half of the vinegar.
• Rub all the seasonings into the meat.
• Place into crock pot, set on low and cook for at least 5 hours, preferably 8. (I will start this before I go to bed, to have for a 1:00 Kickoff during football season).
• When it's falling off the bone, pour off MOST of the liquid in the bottom of the pot.
• Pull out the bone, (this should remove easily) take off any remaining chunks of fat that you can see and add the other half of the vinegar.
• Pull pork into chunks, but don't completely shred at this time, it'll fall apart more with the addition of the barbecue sauces.
• Add equal the amounts of barbecue sauces and the brown sugar, and fold into the shredded meat to combine. (the meat is so tender, it will continue to shred as you're mixing) I like to leave some larger pieces.

BOB'S PULLED PORK ON A SMOKER

Steps:

• Place pork shoulder in a large pot and add enough apple cider to cover. Combine white sugar, brown sugar, salt, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Mix about 1/4 cup sugar rub into cider; reserve remaining rub.
• Cover pot and refrigerate for 12 hours.
• Prepare smoker to about 210 degrees F (99 degrees C). Add enough wood chips to smoker.
• Pour cider brine into the water pan of the smoker; add onion and about 1/4 cup more sugar rub. Spread remaining rub over pork shoulder. Transfer pork to the center of smoker.
• Smoke pork until very tender, about 8 hours. Monitor hickory chips and liquid, adding more wood and water, respectively, as needed. Transfer pork to a large platter and cool for 30 minutes before shredding with forks.

PULLED PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Assemble the spice rub for the pork: In a dry, small skillet over medium-low heat, toast coriander, cumin and peppercorns until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, grind toasted spices into a fine powder. Transfer to a bowl and mix with salt, mustard powder, chile powder and sugar.
• If your roast is tied up, untie it. Massage meat generously with spice rub. If you have time, let meat rest for an hour or two at room temperature, or refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Place pork in a baking pan and roast for 3 to 4 hours or until meat is pull-apart tender and internal temperature reads 200 degrees on a meat thermometer. Let meat cool for at least 30 minutes before pulling it apart and shredding with your hands or two forks. (This works best when the meat is warm but not hot.)
• Prepare the barbecue sauce: Combine ingredients in a medium pot. Simmer over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has deepened in color. Season with more hot sauce if you like. Add two-thirds of the sauce to meat and toss to coat, adding more sauce as needed. (Any leftover sauce will keep for at least 2 weeks in the refrigerator.)
• Make the slaw: Combine cabbage, onion and jalapeño in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add dressing to cabbage and toss well.
• Serve pulled pork with slaw, buns and hot sauce on the side, letting people assemble their own sandwiches.
