Steps:

  • For onion:

  • For vinaigrette:
  • Chop garlic with salt to paste; scrape into small bowl. Add barbecue sauce, orange juice, and lime juice to bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season vinaigrette to taste with pepper. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
  • For pork:

  • Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Prepare barbecue (high heat). Grill tenderloins uncovered 5 minutes, rolling over to sear all sides. Cover grill and continue to cook until thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 145°F, turning often and moving to cooler part of grill as needed, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer to cutting board; let rest 10 minutes.
  • Thinly slice tenderloins crosswise into rounds. Mound pork on roll bottoms. Top with well-drained onion slices, then drizzle with vinaigrette. Cover with roll tops and serve, passing extra onion slices and vinaigrette separately.

Categories     Pork

Time 7h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon kosher salt
4 lbs boneless pork shoulder, excess fat trimmed
5 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, divided
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 1/2 large red onions, thinly sliced root to tip
1/2 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup barbecue sauce
2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce or 2 teaspoons hot sauce
8 brioche bread or 8 hamburger buns

Steps:

  • Sprinkle salt over entire pork shoulder and place in a slow-cooker with crushed garlic, cumin seeds and 1/4 cup vinegar. Cover and cook on low heat for 7 hours or high heat for 5 hours. Pork should shred easily and be very tender.
  • Meanwhile, make slaw by whisking together remaining 1/4 cup vinegar, sugar and celery seed; toss with onions. Let sit up to 3 hours. Stir in cilantro just before serving.
  • Remove pork from juices and cool slightly, then shred and cut into small pieces. Strain juices and pour off fat. Mix 1 cup of the juices with barbeque sauce and hot sauce to serve with pork; discard remaining juices.
  • Serve pork on brioche buns piled with onion slaw and drizzled with sauce. Pork can be made a day in advance.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork. Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork 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 dry rub. A dry rub is a mixture of spices and herbs that is rubbed onto the pork before cooking. This helps to create a flavorful crust and keeps the meat moist.
  • Cook the pork low and slow. Pulled pork is best cooked at a low temperature for a long period of time. This allows the connective tissue to break down and the meat to become tender.
  • Make your own barbecue sauce. Barbecue sauce is an essential ingredient for pulled pork sandwiches. You can find many different recipes online, or you can create your own. Just be sure to use a sauce that is thick and flavorful.
  • Serve the pulled pork on a soft bun. Pulled pork sandwiches are traditionally served on a soft bun, such as a hamburger bun or a hoagie roll. You can also use other types of bread, such as cornbread or tortillas.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are having a backyard barbecue or a family dinner, pulled pork sandwiches are sure to be a hit. With a little planning and preparation, you can make delicious pulled pork sandwiches that your family and friends will love.
