Scott’s Favorite Pulled Pork Rub

June 25, 2019Cole Whitney
Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Apple Cider Vinegar PowderIntermediate
The name says it all. This is one of Chef Scott’s personal favorite recipes, and a Modernist Pantry crowd pleaser for company cookouts. Apple cider vinegar powder adds just the right touch of acidity to a dry rub blend.

Ingredients

  • Three Dried Chili de Arbol
  • 3 Dried New Mexico Chilis
  • 315g (1 ½ cups packed) Brown Sugar
  • 200g (¾ cup) Salt
  • 60g (½ cup) Paprika
  • 25g (2 tbsp) Dehydrated Garlic
  • 15g (2 tbsp) Apple Cider Vinegar Powder
  • 10g (1 tbsp 2 tsp) Black Pepper
  • 10g (1 tbsp 1 tsp) White Pepper
  • 6.5g (1 tbsp) Cocoa Powder
  •  5g (1 tbsp) Onion Powder
  •  5g (1 tbsp 1 tsp) Dry Oregano
  • 6.8 Kg (15lbs) Pork Shoulder, Skin Off
  • Potato Rolls

Equipment

  • Instant Read Thermometer
  • Spice Grinder
  • Roasting Pan with Rack

Timing

Active Time: 1 Hour

Total Time: 24 Hours

Yield

10lbs Pulled Pork

  • Prepare Chilies

    Remove the stems from the chili de arbol and new mexico chilis.

    In a spice grinder place the chili de arbol and new mexico chilis and blend until a coarse powder is made. Remove and place in a bowl.

  • BBQ Seasoning

    Add the brown sugar, salt, paprika, dehydrated garlic, apple cider vinegar powder, black pepper, white pepper, cocoa powder, onion powder, and dry oregano.

    Whisk the mixture until combined.

  • Rub Pork

    Rub the pork shoulder with ½ of the rub mixture. Place in a pan, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

  • Roast Pork

    Preheat an oven to 225°F.

    In a roasting pan with a rack place the pork shoulder. Pour 1 quart of water in the bottom of the roasting pan.

    Roast in the oven for 6-8 hours or until the pork shoulder reaches an internal temperature of 195°F

  • Rest Pork, Serve

    Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 1-2 hours.

    Important: Don’t skip this step as it allows the juices to redistribute properly. We know this is difficult, but be strong, we believe in you!

    To serve, remove the bone from the pork shoulder. Pull the pork into bite size chunks. Do not shred the pork or you will ruin the texture.

    Place the pork chunks onto a potato roll and sprinkle with a large pinch of the dry rub, finish the sandwich with a small amount of your favorite BBQ sauce if you would like.
