Indoor Pulled Pork
Equipment
- Sheet pans large and small
- Forks/spoons
- Large bowl
- Baking Sheet covered in foil
- 2 Medium sized bowls
- Wire rack
- Parchment paper
- Foil
- Meat thermometer
Ingredients
Brine
- 1 cup table salt
- ½ cup white granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons liquid smoke divided
- 5 lbs boneless pork butt roast trimmed and cut in half horizontally
- 4 quarts water
Roasted Pork
- ¼ cup yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons table salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Brine
- Dissolve 1 cup salt, ½ cup sugar, and 3 tablespoons of liquid smoke in 4 quarts of cold water in a large bowl. Submerge pork into the brine, cover, and put in the refrigerator for 1 ½ to 2 hours.
Preparing the Liquid Smoke
- While the pork is brining, combine the mustard and remaining 2 teaspoons of liquid smoke in a medium-sized bowl, and set aside. In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the sugar, paprika, pepper, salt, and cayenne and set aside.
Roasting the Pork
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Lower the oven rack to the lower-middle position.
- Set a wire rack in an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Remove the pork from the brine mixture and thoroughly pat the pork dry with paper towels.
- Rub the mustard mixture over the entire surface of each piece of pork. Then sprinkle the entire surface of each piece with the sugar mixture.
- Place the pork on the prepared wire rack. Place a piece of parchment paper over the pork then cover it with a sheet of foil. Make sure to seal the edges to prevent moisture from escaping. Roast the pork for 3 hours.
- Remove the pork from the oven and discard the parchment paper and the foil.
- Carefully pour off the liquid that has accumulated in the bottom of the sheet pan into a fat separator (if you have one) for the sauce.
- Return the pork to the oven and roast again, uncovered until well browned, and the thermometer registers 200 degrees. This will take about 1 ½ hours.
- Transfer the pork to a dish, tent the dish with foil, and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Using 2 forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and pepper if desired. Toss the pork with 1 cup of sauce and serve.
- Cooked shredded pork can be refrigerated, tightly covered, for up to 2 days.
