SOUTHERN YANK PULLED PORK BBQ

I'm a Yank. This is a Southern dish. We meet in the middle. Pulled pork shoulder slow-cooked in spices and sauces, great for a low-stress day, potluck, or any get-together. Put it on before work, ready when you get home! Fantastic over a bun, johnnycake, or just by itself.

STEAMED BARBECUE PORK BUNS



Steamed Barbecue Pork Buns image

You don't need much experience at all to make beautiful barbecue pork buns, aka. char siu bao. Instead of that mysterious, gelatinous red sauce that Chinese restaurants use, I filled these buns with regular barbecue pork for a more savory version. Regardless of what filling you choose, I hope this helps shape your technique.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Rolls and Buns

Time 3h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ cup water
1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
2 cups self-rising flour
2 cups diced barbecued pork, or to taste
¼ cup finely sliced green onions
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 teaspoons sesame oil
¼ cup hoisin sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • Pour water into a bowl. Sprinkle in yeast and let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes. Add vegetable oil, sugar, and self-rising flour. Mix using a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough comes together.
  • Turn dough out onto your counter and knead into a smooth ball, about 10 minutes. Transfer dough ball into a lightly oiled bowl. Flip to lightly coat. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  • Combine pork, green onions, cayenne pepper, sesame oil, and hoisin sauce in a separate bowl. Mix well and refrigerate.
  • Add a couple inches of water to a Dutch oven and set a bamboo steamer on top.
  • Poke dough down to deflate and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Cut dough in half and roll each half into a long tube. Divide each tube into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and press into a disk. Roll each disk until about 1/8-inch thick and 4 to 5 inches wide. Roll out edges so they are slightly thinner than the center.
  • Transfer a spoonful of filling onto the center of each dough circle. Pinch edges together to form multiple small pleats, moistening edges with water if needed. Squeeze pleats together at the top to seal in the filling. Place pork buns on individual squares of parchment paper. Transfer them to the cold steamer, cover, and let proof until noticeably puffed, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Bring the water in the Dutch oven to a boil over high heat. Set timer for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and leave buns covered for 15 minutes. Uncover and transfer to plate.

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.

BARBECUE PORK ON BUNS



Barbecue Pork on Buns image

This is the best barbecue sandwich I have ever had. I usually double this and freeze what's left in portions to serve one. That way, the kids could grab one after school and chow down. My mom always made this. I think it originated from River Road Recipes, a cookbook by the Junior League of Baton Rouge.

SLOW COOKER SOUTHERN BARBECUE PORK ON A BUN



Slow Cooker Southern Barbecue Pork on a Bun image

This is a really nice pork sandwich recipe that I found in the Chicago Sun-Times and fixed tonight for dinner. Plan ahead a bit as it has to marinate overnight but it's great the next day, just dump it in the slow cooker and let it rip. It makes a lot of sauce so I saved the leftover sauce and plan to use it on BBQ chicken this coming week. These sandwiches were really good served on DotM's Hamburger Buns, recipe #89932! prep time includes marinading time.

SOUTHERN PULLED-PORK SANDWICHES

Pork shoulder, a well-marbled cut available at most supermarkets, turns fork-tender after long, slow cooking. Ours is especially succulent with a spice rub and vinegar.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Pork Recipes

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 pounds boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt), cut into 4 equal pieces
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
4 garlic cloves, minced
8 soft sandwich rolls, split
Store-bought barbecue sauce, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in lower and upper positions. In a small bowl, combine sugar, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
  • Place pork in a 5-quart Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot; rub with spice mixture.
  • In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, garlic, and 1/2 cup water; pour over pork. Cover pot, and place in oven on lower rack. Bake until pork is very tender and separates easily when pulled with a fork, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  • Transfer pork to a work surface, reserving pan juices. With two forks, shred meat. Transfer to a large bowl, and toss with pan juices to moisten (you may not need all the juices). Pile pork on rolls, and top with barbecue sauce, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for barbecue because it has a good amount of fat that will keep the meat moist and flavorful as it cooks.
  • Use a good rub: The rub is what gives the pork its flavor, so it's important to use a good one. There are many different recipes for rubs, so you can find one that suits your taste.
  • Cook the pork low and slow: The best way to cook pork barbecue is to cook it low and slow. This will allow the meat to become tender and fall apart easily.
  • Don't overcook the pork: Pork barbecue is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 195 degrees Fahrenheit. If you cook it any longer, it will become dry and tough.
  • Let the pork rest before serving: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it even more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Southern pork barbecue is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your pork barbecue turns out perfect every time. So fire up your grill or smoker and get cooking!
