preparation

Pulled pork is a typical representative of so-called low & slow cooking , i.e. meat cooked slowly at a low temperature. It is traditionally prepared in a barbecue smoker . The light smoke provides the typical barbecue taste.

The meat can be lightly oiled before cooking (for better adhesion of the spice mixture and to release the aromas in the spice mixture), is then rubbed with a spice mixture (rub) and usually stored in the refrigerator for 24 hours for marinating . After heating up the smoker and adjusting it to a temperature between 100 ° C and 130 ° C, the piece of meat is placed on it. During the cooking time of 10 to 15 hours, spicy sauces are applied according to some recipes . At the end of the cooking time, the meat can be glazed with a barbecue sauce. Cooking for a long time at a low temperature causes the collagen in the connective tissue to dissolve or hydrolyze, making the meat so tender that it can then be broken up into small pieces or torn ( English to pull : to pull ). Pulled pork is usually served in a hamburger bun with barbecue sauce and coleslaw or with rice and other side dishes on a plate.

Variant made from beef

Pulled beef

A method of preparation very similar to pulled pork also exists for the neck of beef and is called pulled beef . The only difference in preparation is the spice mixture used and the longer cooking time (up to 30 hours).
