Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 34

Emeril's ESSENCE Creole Seasoning (also referred to as Bayou Blast):
1 pork shoulder roast (Boston Butt or Picnic roast), about 6 to 8 pounds
4 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Homemade Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows
10 to 12 sandwich buns
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Yield: 2/3 cup
Homemade Barbecue Sauce*:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onions
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 1/4 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup cider vinegar
6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
NOTE: cut back on the vinegar, if you prefer less of an acidic sauce. Add less cayenne and red pepper flakes, if you prefer less "heat".
This sauce stores well in the refrigerator and is very versatile, depending on how you adjust the sugar to acid ratio.

Steps:

  • Step 1, Make the Creole Seasoning ("Bayou Blast") Set aside2 tsp of the seasoning for the BBQ sauce. Step 2 - Prepare the pork with a Weber: Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before proceeding. Season the roast well on all sides with the Essence, salt, and cayenne pepper. Prepare the briquettes using a "chimney". (I never use lighter fluid). Soak wood chips for 30 minutes, drain. Set one (or two) foil pans into the center of the grill. When the briquettes are white, pour onto one half of the weber, then set soaked chips on top of the coals. Place the seasoned pork above the pans (not on directly on the coals). Cover and open vent holes 3/4's (over the meat, opposite the coals). After one hour, the meat should begin to have a crust. Add more briquettes and chips. Every hour, add more briquettes (and chips, if desired) until cooked to 195F. We cooked a 4 pound pork shoulder butt and it was ready in about 4 1/2 hours. OVEN DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 300F. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Season the roast well on all sides with the Essence, salt, and cayenne pepper. Place a roasting rack inside the roasting pan and place the seasoned pork on the rack, fat side up. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 4 hours. Remove the foil from the roast and continue to bake until the roast is very tender and will pull apart easily with a fork, about 2 hours longer. Remove the pork from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Remove any excess fat from the roast and discard if desired. The safest way to pull pork is to wear clean rubber gloves, simply grab the pork and pull. Or, you can use two forks to shred the pork. You can serve the pork several different ways. We prefer to let people add their own BBQ sauce and to decide if they want to stack the cole slaw on top or eat it on the side. Some people like to serve this between white bread and with a pickle-- I like to make homemade hamburger buns and add some BBQ sauce. The Weber technique imparts the most delicious smoky taste and make delicious "burn ends"-- the crunchy, crusty pork crust... so good!

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The pulled pork was tough and the sauce was flavorless.
