Carolina-Style Pulled Pork
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 pounds baby back pork ribs
  • 1 3/4 pounds pork shoulder roast
  • 1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed
  • 1 pound pork belly, skin removed
  • 3/4 pound pork sirloin roast
  • 5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons smoked salt
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
1
Gather all required ingredients and preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius).
2
Cut the ribs, pork shoulder, tenderloin, pork belly, and pork sirloin into two equal portions.
3
Prepare the dry rub by mixing together kosher salt, brown sugar, smoked salt, smoked paprika, black pepper, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne in a small bowl using a spoon.
4
Apply the dry rub to both sides of each cut of meat, reserving approximately 4 teaspoons of the rub for later use to season the cooked pork during tasting.
5
Cover a sheet pan with heavy-duty foil and place a half of ribs in the center. Add shoulder, tenderloin, pork belly, and sirloin on top of the ribs, followed by the other rib half.
6
Fold the foil tightly over the meat three more times to create a sealed package. Transfer the wrapped package to a Dutch oven and roast in the preheated oven until the meat is tender, falling off the bone, about 9 hours.
7
Remove the bones and shred/pull the meat before serving. You can also mix some of the rendered fat into the meat if desired.
