Tyler Florence's Pulled Pork image

Mean Chef's Pulled Pork recipe #26257 is pretty much the gold standard for pulled pork on Recipezaar. I am offering up this alternative that looked fantastic when Tyler made it on the Food Network and turned out fantastic when I made it at home also. The ingredient list is his, the instructions are mine.

Time 5h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (4 -4 1/2 lb) boneless pork shoulder (about 4 to 4.5 pounds)
4 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1/4 cup paprika
2 -3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon cayenne
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Into a food processor, put the kosher salt, black pepper, brown sugar, paprika, thyme leaves, garlic, vinegar and cayenne. Pulse until well combined.
  • Slowly add in the olive oil until the mixture forms a nice paste. Rub all over pork. Get into all of the nooks and crannies. This will help to form a crust on the outside when cooked.
  • Cover pork with plastic wrap or put in a zip loc freezer bag and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
  • When ready to cook, let the meat sit out a room temperature for 30 minutes.Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line the roasting pan with foil. Spray the roasting rack with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Roast the pork for approximately 4 - 5 hours, uncovered until the outside is crispy brown and the sugar has carmelized to form the crust. Let the meat rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before pulling apart.
