Pulled Pork

Brioche Buns

Method

Pulled Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dry Rub

    In a bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Rub the Pork

    Rub the dry mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring even coverage.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pork

    Place the pork shoulder in a smoker or slow cooker. Add apple cider vinegar and water. Cook until the pork is tender and pulls apart easily, about 8 hours on low heat.

Bucktown Stout BBQ Sauce

  1. 4

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine Bucktown Stout beer, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Cook the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 15-20 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.

House-made Coleslaw

  1. 6

    Mix the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and carrots.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 8

    Combine and Chill

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 9

    Shred the Pork

    Once the pork is cooked, shred it using two forks and mix it with the prepared BBQ sauce.

  2. 10

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the brioche buns lightly on a grill or in a toaster.

  3. 11

    Build the Sandwich

    Place a generous portion of pulled pork on the bottom half of each bun, top with coleslaw, and cover with the top half of the bun.

  4. 12

    Serve

    Serve the pulled pork sandwiches warm, with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
