PULLED PORK SLIDERS



Pulled Pork Sliders image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 5h25m

Yield 16 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 3-pound Boston butt pork roast
1 1/2 tablespoons pimenton (smoked Spanish paprika)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons celery salt
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard powder
Kosher salt
1 12-ounce bottle beer
16 slider rolls, split and toasted
Coleslaw, for topping
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 clove garlic, smashed
1 Fresno chile pepper, halved lengthwise (remove seeds for less heat)
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Set the pork on a cutting board and score the fat in a crosshatch pattern, making the cuts about 3/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart. Make the rub: Combine the pimenton, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, celery salt, mustard powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl. Massage it into the meat.
  • Place the pork in a roasting pan and pour the beer into the pan. Cover with foil and roast 3 hours. Check it periodically to make sure everything is going along just fine, and turn the roast over every hour.
  • Remove the foil and continue roasting until the pork has reached an internal temperature of 190 degrees F, about 1 1/2 more hours. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and let rest 30 minutes.
  • Sometime during the marathon cooking time, make the sauce: Combine the vinegar, garlic, chile, brown sugar, tomato paste, dijon mustard and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Taste it to make sure it is delicious; set aside. Remove the chile. When the sauce is cool, I recommend putting it in a squeeze bottle for easy use.
  • Pull the pork into long shreds using 2 forks. Get rid of the fat and anything else that doesn't look delicious. Toss the pork with any residual pan juices and add salt to taste.
  • Serve the pork on slider rolls with a drizzle of sauce; top with coleslaw.

  • For the sliders: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a food processor, combine the olive oil, brown sugar, chile powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic, jalapenos and onions and blend until a thick paste forms. Rub the paste all over the pork and place in a large Dutch oven skin-side up. Add 1 cup water, cover tightly with a lid and roast until just tender, 4 to 5 hours.
  • Remove the lid and continue cooking until the pork is falling apart and a dark bark has formed, 1 to 2 hours longer. Allow to cool slightly.

  • For the fixings: Serve on mini buns with a toppings bar including bacon, Colorful Coleslaw, a variety of pickles [regular, pickled red onions and pickled jalapenos], whole-grain mustard, spicy barbecue sauce and hot sauce.
  • Combine the mini sweet peppers, carrots and cabbage in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt and hot sauce. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Add the cilantro and mix. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

ASIAN INSPIRED PULLED PORK SHOULDER (FOR TACOS OR SLIDERS)



Asian Inspired Pulled Pork Shoulder (For Tacos or Sliders) image

Recipe is for a crock pot! Delish and easy! This is based off of a traditional Char Siu sauce, but true to my nature I can never leave well enough alone! I modified this recipe a lot. I just couldn't help myself. Also, the meat is usually prepared over fire or roasted, but I really wanted to find a recipe that worked well in a slow cooker and I think I accomplished that by making my mods. Hope you like it too! ENJOY!

Time 8h10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 lbs pork shoulder or 3 lbs tenderloin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 large yellow onion, cut in large chunks
1/2 cup water
2/3 cup hoisin sauce (I use Koon Chun Sauce Factory brand)
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons mirin
1 tablespoon rice wine (shaoxing)
2 inches lemongrass, fresh, finely diced
2 tablespoons ginger, fresh, finely grated
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder

Steps:

  • In a small sauce pan add the following items: hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, ½ cup of water, sesame oil, mirin, shaoxing rice wine, lemongrass fresh, ginger, garlic, and the Chinese five spice powder.
  • Whisk together. Reserve 1/4 cup for basting and set the pan with the rest of the sauce on the stove over low hit to thicken. About 30 min, whisking occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
  • Place onion chunks in bottom of crock pot and set as low. Salt and pepper the pork on both sides and place on top of the onions.
  • Baste top and sides of pork with the reserved sauce. Add the lid and cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-5 hours on high. You will know it's done when it is falling apart. YUM!
  • Add the cooled Korean inspired BBQ sauce reduction to a magic bullet or blender and blend until smooth. Set aside. Will keep in fridge for 2 weeks.
  • I use this for Asian pork tacos or pulled pork sliders. Serve either one topped with shredded green and purple cabbage, thinly slices quick-pickled radishes and cucumbers, green onion, cilantro and basil. Dress with a drizzle of spicy sriracha aioli and a drizzle of the Korean inspired BBQ sauce reduction.
