Beer Enhanced Pulled Pork Recipes

Steps:

• Set the slow cooker to High.
• Place the pork in the slow cooker. Season top of pork with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Pour beer into the bottom of the slow cooker and place the lid on the slow cooker crock.
• Cook pork on High for 1 hour. Reduce slow cooker heat to Low and cook for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Remove pork from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Discard juices and rinse out slow cooker crock. Return shredded pork to slow cooker and stir barbeque sauce into pork.
• Cook on Medium for 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat; cook pork in oil until evenly browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Add beer.
• Cover Dutch oven and bake in the preheated oven until pork is very tender, about 2 hours. Shred pork with a fork and transfer Dutch oven back to the stove top; stir in onion.
• Cook and stir over medium heat until onion is browned, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Bring first 9 ingredients to a boil in a very large pot. Reduce heat and simmer 1 minute to blend flavors. Place pork in a large Dutch oven, pour half the liquid over the pork. Cover and place the pork in a 300 degree preheated oven. Roast for 4 to 5 hours.
• Boil remaining liquid over medium high heat, stirring occasionally. Pay careful attention to the sauce near the 30 minute mark, if the mixture gets foamy, remove from heat. Cook until reduced to the consistency of syrup, about 40 minutes. Discard bay leaves and let cool for about 15 minutes. Mixture will thicken considerably as it cools. Top roasted pork with BBQ sauce.

Steps:

• Trim excess fat off of pork loin.
• Mix together beer, juice, and rib rub, give time for rub to dissolve.
• Use meat injector and inject marinade all throughout the loin.
• Season outside of loin with rib rub.
• Pour excess marinade in pan and place loin in there.
• Utilize smoker and set temperature to 250 degrees, add wood 3 different times while cooking.
• Meat needs to reach 180-185 degrees, 6-7 hours approximately.
• Let cool and pull meat apart with two forks.
• Different beers could work, but Irish red ales are good for cooking. Avoid IPA's they make food very bitter. Light ales such as Coors will provide only minimal flavoring. Consider ones that blend well with apple flavoring.
• I am sure you could do this in a crockpot, but you would lose out on some of the smoke flavor. You could add a little liquid smoke to provide some of that flavoring.
