BBQ Pulled Pork
BBQ Pulled Pork
Ingredients
4.5/5 lbs - Pork Tenderloin
2 - Medium Onions (or one large)
1 12oz can - Coke
1 28oz - Montgomery Inn BBQ Sauce
1 28oz - Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce (original flavor)
5 tsp - Liquid Smoke (1 tsp per pound of pork)
- Coarse Grind Black Pepper
- Dried Crushed Thyme
- Onion Salt
- Red Cayenne Pepper
Preparation
Season pork with black pepper, thyme, dusting of onion salt, and dusting of cayenne pepper (to taste so more if you like it warmer on the heat scale).
Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 4hrs (dry marinade) you can also skip this step if you need to get the pork in the crock pot.
Slice onions to about Ό thickness
Line the bottom of a 5qt crock pot with one layer of onions
Place pork in the crock pot on top of onions
Cover pork with remaining onion slices
Drizzle coke over onions and pork ensuring that pork is covered by at least Ό
Set crock pot on low setting and cook at that temperature for 12-13 hours (onions will become nice and carmelized during cooking)
Remove onions from top layer and reserve
Drain juice from pork using turkey baster and discard
Remove pork from crock pot carefully (it should start to fall apart)
Remove onions from lower layer and reserve
Rinse the crock pot free of any remains from coke, juice, etc.
Place pork back into crock pot in small chunks and begin to separate it with a fork. It will string apart rather easily.
Once pork is completely strung apart begin adding the Montgomery Inn Sauce slowly and gently working it in with reserved onions until the whole bottle is gone.
Begin slowly and gently working in Sweet Baby Rays sauce until approximately 2/3 of the bottle is gone (or until it suits your taste). Also work in 5 tsp of liquid smoke.
This can be served on buns, or on toasted bread of almost any variety. Its also good plain.
Montgomery Inn Sauce is local to southwest Ohio but you can get it from the web. It's a sweet sauce that is good enough on it's own but when combined with the tangy flavor of Sweet Baby Ray's this recipe turns out much better.
Enjoy!
