SOUTHERN PORK BARBECUE (FOR SANDWICHES)



Southern Pork Barbecue (For Sandwiches) image

This is the way I learned to make pork barbecue. You get the best of two worlds with this method: 1) you get the smoky grilled flavor; and, 2) you get the ease of controlling the tenderness of the pork by using an indoor oven. Most pork barbecue recipes taste great, but I tried to keep this one relatively SIMPLE so that new chefs can turn out a professional-level barbecue. With this barbecue, I always serve my: Recipe #146502. If you prefer a vinegar-based, sweet and sour slaw on your sandwiches, you can use this one: Recipe #185592. Either way, prepare yourself for some great barbecue and slaw sandwiches. Enjoy!

Provided by Bone Man

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 8h30m

Yield 20 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 5

10 -12 lbs pork roast (2 shoulder or butt roasts, about 5-6 pounds each, bone-in)
1/8 cup pork seasoning ("rub", see directions)
8 tablespoons butter, melted
20 ounces barbecue sauce (I use Sweet Baby Ray's brand)
water

Steps:

  • Rub the roasts on all sides with the meat rub. If you don't have one already, try: Recipe #60138. Commercial rubs are also available and work just fine.
  • On a gas or charcoal grill, over high heat, sear/brown the roasts on all sides (10-15 minutes total).
  • After roasts have been seared, place them in a large roaster pan, elevating them above the bottom of the pan with a small grill or with oven-proof plates. Pour 12 ounces of water into the bottom of the roasting pan. Top the roasts with the melted butter.
  • In an oven pre-heated to 275°F, allow the roasts to bake, covered, for 6 hours. At the end of 3 hours, turn the roasts.
  • At the end of the 6 hours, check the roasts for tenderness. THE BONE SHOULD FREELY RELEASE FROM THE MEAT WHEN DONE. If the roast is still rubbery, allow it to continue to roast, covered, for up to 2 more hours.
  • When the roasts are tender, allow them to cool on a platter and then de-bone and de-fat the meat. Break up all pieces of meat. Place the meat in a large cooking pot, add about 4 ounces of water and bring to a simmer.
  • Just as the meat begins to re-heat, start adding barbecue sauce a little at a time, stirring it in carefully. When it gets enough barbecue flavor, stop adding sauce! It's easy to add too much and you may not need the full 20 ounces, depending on your own personal tastes.
  • Serve on good sandwich buns, topped with coleslaw.
  • NOTE: It is important to use the cheaper, bone-in type pork roasts rather than, say, pork loin. The bone-in roasts have triple the flavor and the higher fat content aids in achieving tenderness. Also, be aware that the roasts labeled "pork butt" are actually pork shoulder--that's the roast that you want.

BBQ PORK BALLS



BBQ Pork Balls image

When a prominent bourbon company called and asked if we would develop a meatball for them, we were all over it-we had wanted to run a BBQ meatball on the menu since the Shop opened. All that was needed was a Lower East Side (L.E.S.) barbecue sauce, which, when mixed with some sautéed onions and freshly ground pork, became the official recipe for the Shop's BBQ balls. So the next time you want some quick 'cue, instead of slaving over the grill, you can prepare these balls ahead and spend some QT with your guests.

Yield Makes about 2 dozen 1 1/2-inch meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
2 pounds ground pork
1 cup L.E.S. Barbecue Sauce (page 61)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the olive oil into a 9 × 13-inch baking dish and use your hand to evenly coat the entire surface. Set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are soft and well browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool in the refrigerator.
  • When the onions have cooled, combine them with the ground pork, barbecue sauce, eggs, bread crumbs, and salt in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Roll the mixture into round, golf ball-size meatballs (about 1 1/2 inches), making sure to pack the meat firmly. Place the balls in the prepared baking dish, being careful to line them up snugly and in even rows vertically and horizontally to form a grid. The meatballs should be touching one another.
  • Roast for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read 165°F.
  • Allow the meatballs to cool for 5 minutes in the baking dish before serving.
