Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork Butt (shoulder)
- ¼ cup Yellow Mustard
- 3 Tbsp Sweet Applewood Barbecue Rub & Seasoning
- 1 ½ tsp Smokey Bacon Infused Sea Salt
- 2 Tbsp Maple-Wood Smoked Bacon Infused Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp Bourbon
- ¾ cup Chicken Stock
- 1 Tbsp Maple-Wood Smoked Bacon Infused Olive Oil
- ½ Yellow Onion, finely minced
- 1 cup Ketchup
- ½ cup Tomato Paste
- ¼ cup Bourbon Barrel Aged Balsamic
- ¼ cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 3 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 Tbsp Sweet Applewood Barbecue Rub & Seasoning
- 1 tsp Smokey Bacon Infused Sea Salt
- Toasted Hamburger Buns
- Pickle Slices
Directions
- Cut the pork butt into 3-4 inch chunks. Coat each piece with mustard, Sweet Applewood Barbecue Rub & Seasoning, and Smokey Bacon Infused Sea Salt. Let marinate for 1 hour (or up to 24 hours in the fridge).
- In a large Dutch oven over high heat, heat Maple-Wood Smoked Bacon Infused Olive Oil. Working in batches, sear the pork pieces until browned.
- Add all the pork back into the pot and add the bourbon and chicken stock.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Cover the pot and cook for 3–4 hours, or until pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
- To make the BBQ sauce, heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the Maple-Wood Smoked Bacon Infused Olive Oil and the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining BBQ Sauce ingredients. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Shred the cooked pork and toss with about 1 cup of BBQ sauce. Serve on toasted buns with pickle slices and extra sauce on the side. Enjoy!
