Time 7h

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup plus 2 tsp table salt
½ cup plus 2 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp plus 2 tsp liquid smoke, divided
1 boneless pork shoulder (about 5 pounds), cut in half horizontally through the center
¼ cup yellow or brown mustard
2 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp sweet Hungarian paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 ½ cups ketchup
½ cup molasses
2 tbsp cider vinegar
3 tbsp honey
1 ½ tsp hot sauce
½ tsp liquid smoke
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To make the pork: Dissolve 1 cup salt, ½ cup sugar, and 3 tablespoons liquid smoke in 4 quarts cold water in large container. Submerge pork in brine, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, in a small prep bowl, stir together the mustard and remaining 2 tsp liquid smoke; set aside. In a second small prep bowl, mix the black pepper, paprika, remaining 2 tbsp sugar, remaining 2 tsp salt, and cayenne together; set aside. During the last 15 minutes that the pork is brining, adjust oven rack to the lower-middle position and preheat oven to 325° F.
  • Remove pork from brine and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Rub the mustard mixture over entire surface of each piece of pork. Sprinkle entire surface of each piece with all of the spice mixture, gently pressing the spice mixture into the mustard with your fingers. Place pork on wire rack set inside foil-lined rimmed 12×18-inch baking sheet. Place a piece of parchment paper over pork, then cover with a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil (heavy duty foil will cover the sheet in one large, neat sheet), sealing the edges to prevent moisture from escaping. Roast the pork for 3 hours.
  • Remove pork from oven; remove and discard foil and parchment. Carefully pour off liquid in bottom of baking sheet into a heat-proof bowl or fat can, discard. Return the pork to oven and cook, uncovered, until well browned, tender, and internal temperature registers 200° F on instant-read thermometer, about 1 to 1 ½ hours. Transfer the pork to serving dish, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes.
  • To make the sauce: While the pork rests, whisk the first six ingredients for the sauce in a medium bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • To serve: Pull the pork into shredded bite-size pieces with two forks. Toss with 1 cup of the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve the pork hot, passing remaining sauce separately. Transfer any remaining sauce to a resealable container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.

SWEET & TANGY PULLED PORK

The slow cooker makes these super sandwiches a snap to put together on a busy weeknight. You'd think I'd slaved over them all day! I like to serve them with a side of creamy coleslaw or corn on the cob. If you don't have soy sauce, you can use 1/4 cup of broth instead. -Megan Klimkewicz, Kaiser, Missouri

TO SERVE: Using 2 forks, shred pork into bite-sized pieces. Toss with 1 cup sauce and season with salt and pepper. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately. TECHNIQUE Cutting Pork Butt in Half Halving the pork increases its surface area, which creates more flavorful bark. Holding your knife parallel to the cutting board, press one hand flat against the top of the pork butt while cutting horizontally. STEP-BY-STEP Adding Smoke Flavor (Without a Fire) 1. SOAK IN SMOKE Adding liquid smoke to brine draws smoky flavor deep into meat. 2. RUB WITH SMOKE Rubbing pork with more liquid smoke gives bark pronounced smoky flavor. 3. SPICE IT UP Adding smoked paprika to dry rub brings additional smokiness and helps bark develop its color.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: For pulled pork, look for a fatty cut like pork shoulder or pork butt. These cuts have a lot of connective tissue that breaks down during cooking, resulting in tender, juicy meat.
  • Use a good rub: A rub is a mixture of spices and herbs that is applied to the pork before cooking. It helps to flavor the meat and create a crispy crust.
  • Cook the pork low and slow: Pulled pork is best cooked low and slow. This allows the connective tissue to break down and the flavors to develop.
  • Use a good BBQ sauce: The BBQ sauce is what makes pulled pork special. Choose a sauce that is sweet, tangy, and smoky.
  • Serve the pulled pork with your favorite sides: Pulled pork is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include coleslaw, baked beans, and potato salad.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make pulled pork at home. Just follow these tips and you'll be sure to end up with a delicious and satisfying meal.
