The Ultimate Pulled Pork BBQ Recipe: A Smoky, Tender Delight
When it comes to comfort food, few dishes can rival the
smoky, tender perfection of pulled pork BBQ. Whether you're hosting a backyard
cookout or simply craving a hearty meal, this recipe is sure to impress. Let's
dive into the art of creating the perfect pulled pork BBQ.
Ingredients:
1 (5-7 lb) pork shoulder or Boston butt
3 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp dry mustard
3 tbsp coarse sea salt
1 ½ cups cider vinegar
1 cup yellow or brown mustard
½ cup ketchup
⅓ cup
packed brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Hamburger buns and coleslaw for serving
Instructions:
Prepare the Pork: Mix paprika, garlic powder, brown sugar,
dry mustard, and sea salt in a bowl. Rub this spice blend all over the pork
shoulder. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for maximum
flavor.
Slow Roast: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the
pork in a roasting pan and cook for about 6 hours, or until the meat is tender
and falling apart. An instant-read thermometer should register 170°F (77°C) at
the thickest part.
Make the BBQ Sauce: While the pork is roasting, combine
cider vinegar, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, cayenne, and black pepper
in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pull the Pork: Once the pork is done, let it rest for 10
minutes. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Mix the pulled
pork with half of the BBQ sauce.
Serve and Enjoy: Pile the pulled pork onto hamburger buns,
top with coleslaw, and drizzle with extra BBQ sauce. Serve with pickle spears
on the side for a classic touch.
