Method

Pulled Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Rub the pork shoulder with paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Make sure to coat the pork evenly on all sides.

  2. 2

    Smoke the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a smoker at 225°F (107°C) for about 8-10 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once smoked, remove the pork from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes. Then, shred the pork using two forks and mix in the BBQ sauce.

Coleslaw

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Shred the green cabbage and carrots using a sharp knife or a food processor. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 5

    Make the Dressing

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

  3. 6

    Combine

    Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and carrots. Toss until the vegetables are well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 7

    Toast the Buns

    Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toast the brioche buns in the skillet until golden brown on both sides.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Layer the pulled pork generously on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a scoop of creamy coleslaw, and then place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.

  3. 9

    Serve

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