Yield people

Number Of Ingredients 19

Dry Rub:
3 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
3 tablespoons coarse salt
1 (5 to 7 pound) pork roast, preferably shoulder or Boston butt
Cider Vinegar Barbecue Sauce:
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
1 cup yellow or brown mustard
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 hamburger buns
1 recipe Spicy Slaw
Pickle spears

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 and marinate for as long as you have time for, as little as 1 hour or up to overnight, covered, in the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Put the pork in a roasting pan and bake for about 6 hours. Basically, roast the pork until it's falling apart and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 170 degrees F. To 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. Remove the pork roast from the oven and transfer to a large platter. Allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes. While still warm, take 2 forks and "pull" the meat to form shreds. Using 2 forks, shred the pork by steadying the meat with 1 fork and pulling it away with the other. Put the shredded pork in a bowl. Pour 1/2 of the sauce on the shredded pork and mix well to coat. To serve, spoon the pulled pork mixture onto the bottom 1/2 of the hamburger bun, and top with the spicy slaw. Serve with pickle spears and the remaining sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork:Pork shoulder or butt is the best cut for pulled pork sandwiches because it is well-marbled and has a lot of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and flavorful.
  • Use a good rub:The rub is what gives pulled pork its flavor, so don't skimp on the ingredients. A good rub should include a mix of spices, herbs, and brown sugar.
  • Cook the pork low and slow:The key to tender pulled pork is to cook it low and slow. This allows the connective tissue to break down and the flavors to develop.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked through:The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 205 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork rest before shredding:Letting the pork rest for a few minutes before shredding allows the juices to redistribute and makes it easier to shred.
  • Serve the pulled pork on toasted buns with your favorite toppings:Pulled pork sandwiches are traditionally served on toasted buns with coleslaw, BBQ sauce, and pickles.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make the best pulled pork sandwiches that your family and friends will love.
