I must start off by saying this is not a time-tested recipe. It was my first run, actually, and it turned out well. If/when I try it again, I will comment on how it goes.
I love barbecue - pork, chicken - whatever (almost). So I decided to try my hand at some barbecue pulled pork. It turned out quite well, indeed, and, actually, now that I'm drooling just thinking about it, we might just have it again tomorrow. :D
I like to cook with pork tenderloin. I've found that it's generally fail-proof, cheap and delish! I usually buy mine from Meijer ( Just FYI, there are two in the bag! :D) or Sam's Club if I have room in my freezer. For this recipe, I used one tenderloin and it probably would have been enough for four adult sandwiches or three adults and two kids. Also, another thing to note, I only had two cups each of chicken stock and cola, so I used another two cups of water, just to get 6 cups of liquid. You could split the 6 cups any way or want. One other thing to plan with this entree is your supporting dishes. I suggest coleslaw and plain kettle chips. I'll post my recipe for coleslaw later this week. (Really, I will!)
Barbecue Pulled Pork
1 Pork Tenderloin, cut into large chunks
Kosher Salt
Black Pepper
Olive Oil
2 cups Cola
2 cups Chicken Stock
2 cups Water
1 bottle Kraft Honey Barbecue sauce (And you thought I was making my own sauce! Ha!)
Cut and season the tenderloin and brown with olive oil in the bottom of a heavy pot. Once brown on all sides, add the liquids (not the barbecue sauce) and bring to a boil. Cover and cook for half an hour, keeping the liquids at a medium-low boil. Uncover, test your meat for tenderness and cook another 15 to 30 minutes uncovered. Add barbecue sauce and let look until desired sauce thickness is reached or about 15 minutes.
I served mine on pan toasted buns. (I learned that from my mommy!) Ooh! Bread and butter pickles would be great with this.
Enjoy!
