directions

  • Mix the paprika, garlic power, brown sugar, dry mustard, and 3 T salt together in a small bowl. Rub the spice blend all over the pork and marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 300°. Put the pork in a roasting pan and bake for about 6 hoursuntil the inside temperature reaches 170° and the roast is falling apart.
  • Meanwhile, for barbecue sauce, combine the vinegar, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, salt, cayenne, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently, stirring, for 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
  • Allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes after removing from oven. While still warm, take 2 forks and "pull" the meat to form shreds.
  • Place the shredded pork in a bowl and pour 1/2 of the sauce on the shredded pork and mix well to coat.
  • Serve on hamburger buns with remaining sauce on the side.
  • Note: The above is Tyler Florence's actual recipe, but when I make it I make a few changes. It does not specify, but cover the roasting pan before putting in the oven. Also, pour a little water in the bottom of the roasting pan and check periodically to make sure it does not dry up completely. I found the drippings in the bottom of the pan burned if I didn't do this.
  • Note: For the sauce, I use 1C each of cider vinegar, mustard and ketchup as well as 1/2 C brown sugar and 1/2 t cayenne. I use all of the sauce to mix in the meat. I don't think half is enough. If you want more sauce on the side, I would suggest making more.

  1. Hi, Gutpyle again. Just a quick reminder. There is a big difference between a Pork Butt and a Pork Shoulder. The ones I buy actually say Fresh Pork Picnic Shoulder. If your not sure ask your butcher.
     
  2. I wasn't sure how many stars to give because we loved the pork and made it as directed but couldn't even get close to using the bbq sauce. It was so strong that when I tried to taste it, my eyes watered. We threw that part away but the pork itself was very good. I served it with Sweet Baby Ray's on the side.
     
  3. This is so good. I made the rub as written, but changed the sauce a bit. I swapped the proportions of the mustard and ketchup, but found it a little too tangy for my tastes.
     
  4. 10+ stars! I have been making this for the past few years for my mom's cardiac rehab group. It is foolproof & perfect. Everybody wants the recipe. I came to print it out & found I've never reviewed this gem. What I do, though, is make about 35 - 50 lbs of pork but for this group I only use the rub. I only double the rub recipe & it will coat the top (fatty) part of 4 large pork butts. It goes into the oven for about 10 hours & comes out falling off the bone & too delicious to be imagined. YUMMMMMMMMM!
     
  5. This is simply the best cut of pork for this kind of recipe because it falls apart its a huge piece of meat for a fairly small price. Using a pork roast is not as tender and costs alot more...also I dont use the mustard but everything else is right one. YUM!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I was born in Chicago, IL and have lived in the area all my life. I love to cook and plan meals and always have. As a child I would watch Julia Childs on TV every day (she came on right after Mr. Rogers) and I have been interested in cooking ever since. Now that I have a family I enjoy the quick and easy recipes just as much as the more intricate ones. I didn't mind putting in the extra time and effort when I only cooked recreationally. I still like to do that sometimes, but for the day-to-day chore of cooking (and sometimes it is a chore) I like the option of fast and simple. I enjoy trying new recipes and sharing favorites of mine. I have found that sometimes the most unlikely sounding ones turn out to be the best! I try to always review the recipes I try because I know how much I enjoy getting that feedback myself. Even when it is not necessarily positive because sometimes suggestions help me tweak things and make them better!
