Pulled Pork — Pulled Pork

Ingredients

• Pork shoulder
• Barbecue sauce
• Smoked Tabasco
• Beer (Added to the package before cooking; quantity not specified.)
• Brown sugar (For the rub.)
• Sweet paprika (For the rub.)
• Ground garlic (For the rub.)
• Ground onion (For the rub.)
• Salt (For the rub; quantity not specified.)
• Cinnamon (For the rub.)
• Cumin (For the rub.)
• Mild chili powder (For the rub.)
• Black pepper (For the rub.)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the rub by mixing the brown sugar, sweet paprika, ground garlic, ground onion, salt, cinnamon, cumin, mild chili powder, and black pepper.

2. 2

   Generously coat the pork shoulder with the smoked Tabasco and barbecue sauce so that the rub adheres well to the meat.

3. 3

   Cover the meat completely with the rub, carefully massaging it in with your hands.

4. 4

   Wrap the pork shoulder in parchment paper, then in aluminum foil. Seal the package carefully and add another layer of foil so it is airtight.

5. 5

   Add the beer to the package.

6. 6

   Bake at 110 °C for 7 hours.

7. 7

   At the end of cooking, remove the package. Since the meat will be very hot, let it cool slightly if desired before pulling it; it can also be pulled while hot using two forks.

8. 8

   Pull the meat apart with two forks until you have tender pieces that come apart easily.

9. 9

   Pour the cooking juices into a saucepan and reduce them over heat.

10. 10

    Pour all the reduced juices over the pulled meat and mix well.

Notes

No quantities are specified in the source. The transcript also mentions smoked paprika, but the ingredient list in the description, which takes precedence, specifies sweet paprika and mild chili powder. Beer contains alcohol; the source shows consumption in moderation.
