It's football season, and we're smoking and BBQing pork today! We're gonna break down our process and show you how to get incrediblely delicious pork that just falls apart right in your hand.
What you'll need:
- Smoker
- Carving knife
- Mixing bowl
- Baking sheet
- Aluminum foil
Ingredients:
- 1 lb pork butt
- Spicy or regular mustard (enough to coat)
- 2 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 3 tbsp smoked paprika
- 3 tbsp granulated garlic
- 3 tbsp cumin
- 3 tbsp ground mustard
- 3 tbsp ground ginger
- 3 tbsp chili powder
- 3 tbsp kosher salt
- 3 tbsp onion powder
Steps:
1. Trim the fat: With a carving knife, trim the excess fat off the pork butt.
2. Coat with mustard: Place the trimmed pork on a baking sheet and coat all over with spicy or regular mustard, whichever you have.
3. Make the rub: In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, smoked paprika, granulated garlic, cumin, ground mustard, ground ginger, chili powder, kosher salt, and onion powder. Mix by hand until evenly blended.
4. Bind the crust: Pack the rub onto both sides of the meat by hand, pressing firmly so it sticks and forms a thick crust.
5. Smoke: Put the pork in the smoker for about 3 to 4 hours.
6. Wrap and finish: Take the pork out, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil, and put it back in the smoker at the same temperature for about 12 to 15 hours.
The combination you can make with recipe are endless. Pulled pork nachos, sliders, and amazing sandwiches. The options are endless. Save this recipe for your next football party, tailgate party or even your next family gathering. I guarantee you, this will be a hit.
