HAM-STYLE BOSTON BUTT



Ham-Style Boston Butt image

In this recipe, Boston butt (aka pork shoulder) is brined in salt and sugar, then roasted with garlic butter and sweet vermouth to yield a pork roast that's a little like a ham (without the weeks of curing). Adapted from a recipe in _Good Meat_ by Deborah Krasner as published at Serious Eats by Caroline Russock. http://bit.ly/aPqXVG

Categories     Pork

Time 9h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 lbs pork shoulder (Boston butt)
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
12 whole cloves
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup sweet vermouth

Steps:

  • Bring meat to room temperature and blot dry. Tie into a neat, compact shape with butcher's twine. Place into a lidded vessel big enough for it and the brine.
  • Combine salt, sugar and cloves; add just enough hot tap water to dissolve the solids. Pour over roast, then add cold water until covered. Refrigerate 8-24 hours. Before cooking, remove meat from brine, rinse well and blot dry. Season well with salt and pepper, and place in a roasting rack fat side up.
  • Slowly melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant but not colored, about 2 minutes. Pour garlic butter over roast and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F Roast meat for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 300°F Baste with vermouth every 20 minutes or so. Meat will need about 20 minutes per pound at 300F, about 1 additional hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 150°F Let rest at least 15 minutes before slicing; serve with pan juices.

SLOW-SMOKED PULLED PORK (BOSTON BUTT)



Slow-Smoked Pulled Pork (Boston Butt) image

This simple yet effective Boston butt recipe gives the pulled pork a mildly spicy and tangy flavor. The combination of smoke and moisture from the drip pan works very well for cooking the meat evenly and leaves plenty of juices within the meat itself. I've tried several different methods with Boston butt and this one is my favorite, as well as a favorite among my friends. Give it a try and see if you like it, and please don't be shy and leave some feedback! I usually serve with barbeque sauce and baked beans (throwing the fat chunks from the pulled pork into the beans to add a little extra flavor). Check out my Sweet and Spicy Cornbread Muffins recipe for a great side. Enjoy!

Time 5h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 tablespoons dark brown sugar
4 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
4 ½ teaspoons onion powder
4 teaspoons paprika
4 teaspoons seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S®)
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
3 ½ pounds bone-in Boston butt roast
½ cup spicy brown mustard
1 cup pickle juice
¾ cup olive oil
charcoal
8 pounds fruit wood chunks for smoking
2 cups pilsner-style beer (such as Budweiser®)
4 ¼ cups water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, seasoned salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl to make dry rub.
  • Coat roast with spicy brown mustard. Sprinkle dry rub all over roast and work it into all the folds and creases.
  • Combine pickle juice and olive oil in a small bowl.
  • Preheat 5 pounds charcoal in a smoker according to manufacturer's instructions until white and flaming. Distribute 7 to 8 large wood chunks over the coals. Place a drip pan on top; pour in beer and enough water to fill the pan most of the way. Close smoker; bring liquid in the drip pan to a boil. Place roast on top and close smoker.
  • Smoke roast, turning every hour, until browned, about 2 hours. Baste roast with pickle juice and olive mixture. Continue smoking, turning and basting every hour, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 175 degrees F (80 degrees C), 2 to 3 hours more.
  • Remove roast from smoker and wrap with aluminum foil. Let rest, about 30 minutes.
  • Uncover roast and cut into chunks. Shred chunks into small strands; transfer to a large bowl. Squeeze strands with both hands repeatedly, mixing after each squeeze.
