MEMPHIS STYLE PULLED PORK SANDWICHES



Memphis Style Pulled Pork Sandwiches image

This recipe came from a Publix Super Market recipe book, to my mother to me. It is is SO good!! So good, I felt compelled to share it, which I have never done it on Recipezaar.com before! This meal has definitely become a regular in our dinner rotation. NOTE: I used a 2.5 pork loin and did not change the ingredients and it was still to die for! Even better the next day!! Also, I recommend Sweet Baby Ray's or Mr. Stubbs BBQ sauce. I did not use a "Memphis Style". It's really whatever kind you like! Lastly, I also made Spicy Chipotle Cole Slaw Recipe #232299 and put a little on the sandwich as well. Steve just put cheese over it, no coleslaw. Either way -- YUMMMMMMY!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: A pork shoulder or pork butt is the best cut for pulled pork because it has a lot of fat and connective tissue, which will break down and make the meat tender and juicy when cooked low and slow.
  • Use a good rub: A dry rub is essential for adding flavor to the pork. Be sure to use a rub that is specifically designed for pulled pork, as it will contain the right spices and herbs to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the pork low and slow: The key to getting tender, juicy pulled pork is to cook it low and slow. This will allow the connective tissue to break down and the fat to render out, resulting in meat that is fall-apart tender.
  • Use a good sauce: A good barbecue sauce is essential for finishing off the pulled pork. Be sure to choose a sauce that is thick and flavorful, and that complements the flavor of the pork.
  • Serve the pulled pork on a bun with your favorite toppings: Pulled pork is traditionally served on a bun with coleslaw, pickles, and onions. However, you can also get creative with your toppings and add things like cheese, bacon, or avocado.

Conclusion:

Memphis-style pulled pork sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that are perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your pulled pork sandwiches turn out perfect every time. So fire up your grill or smoker and get started today!
