Why This Recipe Is So Tasty
Cooking Techniques
- Toast the sandwich buns before assembling to add a nice crunch and prevent sogginess.
- Melt the cheese under the broiler for a few minutes to get a golden, bubbly topping.
Step 1
Melt some butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Toss in the onions and cook them until theyโre soft and fragrant. Then add the jalapeรฑos, ketchup, sugar, and a splash of liquid smoke. Let everything come to a boil, then turn the heat down to low and let it simmer gently for about an hour, or until the sauce thickens up nicely.
Step 2
Smoke the pork shoulder in a hot smoker set to 210ยฐF for 3 to 5 hours, or until the internal temperature hits around 150ยฐF. Once itโs done, wrap the pork tightly in foil and pop it in the fridge overnight to let it rest.
Step 3
When youโre ready, trim off any excess fat from the pork. Use two forks to shred the meat into a big bowl, then stir in your favorite barbecue sauce until itโs all nicely coated.
Step 4
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and butter two slices of sourdough bread. Brown them until theyโre golden and crispy, then add a slice of cheese on each one. Pile on a generous amount of the pulled pork, top with another slice of cheese, and sandwich it with the other piece of bread. Flip carefully and cook until the other side is browned and the cheese is melted. Enjoy!
