1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 boneless pork butt or shoulder, fat cap scored (about 5 pounds)
Sweet Chile Sauce, warmed, recipe follows
Unsalted butter, softened, to toast rolls
4 soft potato rolls or sweet Hawaiian bread rolls
Grilled Pineapple Relish, recipe follows
Shredded red cabbage, to garnish
2 cups rice vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cloves garlic, smashed
Oil, for grilling
1 fresh pineapple, skinned, cored and cut into 1-inch slices
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon peeled and grated fresh ginger
1 lime, juiced
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1/2 red onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the roast pork: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cinnamon and cumin to make a dry rub. Massage the rub over the pork, making sure to rub it in between the scored fat cap. Wrap the pork in plastic wrap and let it sit for 2 hours or overnight in the fridge.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F with the oven rack in the middle position.
  • Remove the plastic wrap from the pork and place in a Dutch oven with a lid. Cover and place in the oven to roast for 3 hours.

  • Preheat a grill pan or grill over high heat. Rub the grill with a bit of oil and grill each side of the pineapple slices until dark grill marks appear, 3 to 5 minutes a side. Roughly chop the pineapple and add it to a bowl with the cilantro, ginger, lime juice, jalapeno and onions. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips for Perfect Grilled Shredded Pork Sandwiches:

  • Choose the right pork shoulder: Look for a pork shoulder with good marbling, as this will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Prepare the pork shoulder properly: Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder, leaving a thin layer to help keep the meat juicy. Season the shoulder liberally with a dry rub, ensuring that all sides are evenly coated.
  • Cook the pork shoulder slowly and low: For tender and flavorful pulled pork, cook the shoulder at a low temperature (around 225°F) for an extended period of time (at least 8 hours). This allows the collagen in the meat to break down, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  • Shred the pork correctly: Once the pork shoulder is cooked, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes before shredding. Use two forks to pull the meat apart, discarding any large pieces of fat.
  • Make a flavorful sauce: Combine a variety of ingredients, such as ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and spices, to create a tangy and flavorful sauce for the pulled pork sandwiches.
  • Toast the buns: Toasted buns will add a crispy texture to your sandwiches and help hold all the ingredients together. Brush the buns with melted butter or olive oil before grilling or toasting them.
  • Assemble the sandwiches: Place a generous helping of pulled pork on each toasted bun. Top with a drizzle of sauce, coleslaw, and pickles. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Grilled shredded pork sandwiches are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a party appetizer. Whether you prefer a classic pulled pork sandwich with barbecue sauce or a more creative version with unique toppings, there's a recipe out there to suit every taste.
