Description

BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches are perfect for summer cookouts and BBQs. Cooking the meat turns out to be a simple process as long as you have time to let it cook slowly.


Ingredients

Scale

BBQ Pulled Pork

  • Roughly 31/2 pounds (1.5kg) Boston Butt
  • 1 Tbsp (13g) brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp (7g) garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp (7g) mustard powder
  • 21/2 to 3 Tbsp (18g-22g)paprika

Sandwich Fixings

  • 8 Buns
  • BBQ sauce
  • 1 package coleslaw
  • 1 bottle of Litehouse Bleu Cheese Vinaigrette

Instructions

BBQ Pulled Pork

  1. Mix the dry ingredients together.
  2. Rub the dry mixture on the meat, coating all sides.
  3. Place the meat in a roasting pan.
  4. Cover the meat with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator, preferably overnight.
  5. When you are ready to cook the meat, remove the plastic wrap and cover the pan tightly with foil.
  6. Bake the meat at 275 degrees until the internal temperature of the roast is 200 degrees and the meat pulls apart from the bone. The cook time will vary depending on the size of the roast. The general rule of thumb is that it will take 1 – 1 1/2 hours for every pound of meat. (If you are using a glass pan, place the cold pan in the cold oven and let them heat together to prevent your pan from cracking.)
  7. After the first three hours baste the meat with its juices every hour.
  8. Remove the meat from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  9. Shred the meat into pieces with a fork.

Sandwiches

  1. Toss the coleslaw and the dressing, mixing in the dressing to taste.
  2. Assemble the sandwiches, spooning pulled pork on the bottom portion of the bun, drizzling it with sauce and topping it with coleslaw.
