Memphis BBQ Pulled Pork

Memphis BBQ Pulled Pork

Ingredients

  • 1 Boneless pork but (shoulder)

Rub

  • 1 Tablespoon of salt

  • 1 Tablespoon of paprika (hot)

  • 1 Tablespoon of onion powder

  • 2 Teaspoons of cayenne pepper

  • 2 Teaspoons of black ground pepper

Sauce

  • 2 Minced onion

  • 1 Cup of red wine

  • 2 Cloves of minced garlic

  • Half cup of brown sugar

  • Half cup of mustard

  • 2 Cups of ketchup

Method

For the Memphis style rub combine rub ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix into a paste and rub onto the shoulder of pork and cover it in a plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for an hour.

Very much like my BBQ pork rib recipes, for the Memphis style sauce place the onions with the minced garlic in a sauce pan. Add red wine, sugar and the mustard. Bring ingredients to a simmer, then add the two cups of ketchup and let ingredients simmer for fifteen minutes.

Pre-heat smoker to 225 degrees smoke the shoulder of pork for about eight hours. Once done wrap the shoulder pork in aluminium tin foil and leave to settle for an hour.

Unwrap the shoulder pork and shred. Serve on a white or brown bun. Add bout a tablespoon of sauce when serving. This is a very delicious pulled pork recipe.

There are so many possible variations I will never get bored of it. Maybe I will post one of my own secret pull’d pork recipes one of these days. :wink:

I’m not much of a fan of boneless butts…particularly in my smoker…I like your rub Adamhol123…not too much heat…not overpowering…but if you are using a smoker…and you are keeping the temp at 230 degrees…I think you would be better using a instaread thermometer and pulling when the internal temp is 195 degrees…and with a bone in…once I have let the butt sit for at least 30 mins…that bone should come out smooth and clean with no meat clinging to it…this is a real test of doneness…!!!
