I serve this to guests during the summer and is one of my favorites especially if feeding a crowd! I use the Smokin' Jack BBQ Sauce recipe on this site!

Time 12h10m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 pound) pork butt, trimmed
18 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
4 teaspoons Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®)
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon dry mustard
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
.063 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Cut rows of deep slits into both sides of pork butt using a sharp knife; insert a garlic clove into each slit. Rub vegetable oil over pork butt.
  • Mix Creole seasoning, brown sugar, white sugar, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, mustard, cumin, and ginger together in a bowl; coat pork butt with spice mixture. Wrap coated pork butt with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
  • Heat an infrared turkey fryer or a large skillet over medium-high heat; remove aluminum foil from pork butt. Sear all sides of pork butt in the fryer or hot skillet until an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) is reached, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Wrap the seared pork butt tightly in aluminum foil.
  • Preheat the roaster or oven to 265 degrees F (130 degrees C).
  • Place wrapped pork butt in the preheated roaster or oven until pork is easily shredded, 3 to 4 hours. Remove pork butt from aluminum foil and pull meat apart.

The pulled pork was a bit dry. I think I cooked it for too long.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.
