Best 7 Carolina Pork Bbq Recipes

NORTH CAROLINA-STYLE BBQ PULLED-PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make small holes all over the pork shoulder with a thin sharp knife and stuff in garlic cloves. Rub the meat all over with the Memphis Shake; cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Prepare an outdoor grill with an indirect medium-hot fire with a mix of briquettes and hardwood charcoal in half of the grill. Set grate over coals. Place pork, skin side up, in an aluminum pan with about 1 1/2 cups water on the cooler side of the grate. Toss 1 cup of the soaked and drained wood chips onto the coals and cover the grill, making sure the lid's vents are directly over pork.
• When the coals cool to medium-low heat, preheat a chimney-full of hot briquettes and hardwood charcoal. Whenever smoke stops coming out of the vents, about every hour, add more hot coals and 1 cup of soaked and drained wood chips to the fire. The goal is to maintain a medium-heat, smoky fire (but don't worry if it is hotter when the coals are added and cooler while preheating the coals). Rotate the pork when you add coals so it cooks evenly. Cook the meat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 180 degrees F, about 6 hours.
• Set aside 1 quart of the North Carolina-Style Vinegar BBQ Sauce. Once the pork reaches 180 degrees F, begin mopping the entire surface of the meat every 20 minutes with some of the remaining sauce and the pan drippings. Continue to cook the pork, covering the grill between mopping, until an instant-read thermometer registers 200 degrees F, about 1 to 2 hours more.
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for at least 15 minutes. Remove the outer skin and discard. Cut large chunks from the bone and shred, using 2 forks or your fingers, (when cool enough to touch) or chop. Toss with about 1 cup of the reserved barbecue sauce for every 3 cups of meat. Tuck the pork into the soft rolls and serve with pickles.
• Whisk paprika, brown sugar, oregano, garlic, ancho powder, salt, and celery salt in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 months.
• Heat the vinegar and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Off the heat, stir in the ketchup, honey, salt, red pepper, and black pepper.

CAROLINA PORK TENDERLOIN WITH PEACH BBQ SAUCE AND SWEET POTATO HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a large ovenproof skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle the barbecue seasoning blend over the pork tenderloin. Quickly sear the meat on all sides over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, while meat is searing, start the hash browns by adding the vegetable oil and butter to another large skillet. Add the shredded sweet potatoes, onion and bell pepper blend, and celery leaves in a single layer. Cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes without stirring. Stir in the salt and pepper, to taste, and continue to cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• Once the tenderloin has been seared, remove to a platter and to the same skillet whisk in the Bloody Mary mix, peach nectar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, hot sauce, cracked black pepper, and chopped peaches; simmer over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove sauce from heat, place the seared pork in skillet and spoon sauce over top. Place the skillet in oven and cook until pork reaches an internal temperature of 155 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove meat from oven and allow to sit for a few minutes before slicing. To plate, arrange sweet potato hash browns and the sliced pork on individual dishes and top with some of the sauce. Garnish with fresh peach slices and a sprinkling of parsley.
