Instructions
- First we inject the meat with our marinade.
- This will add to the pork not drying out.
- Which can happen with pork sirloin roasts.
- Let's make our simple marinade.
- Combine apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic powder and liquid smoke and 2 teaspoons of honey.
- then whisk.
- Using a marinade injector, inject your pork with the marinade.
- Now let's build our spice rub.
- I use the chili powder and paprika as the base and salt and pepper to taste the same goes for the garlic powder.
- To taste.
- You want the rub to be red in color from the chili powder and paprika.
- It's smokey and salty in flavor.
- Now we are going to very liberally rub our pork with the rub.
- Fully covered in spice all sides.
- Let's get our meat in the smoke!
- I am using mesquite hardwood charcoal and mesquite chips this time.
- We want our smoker at 300F.
- Once we get our meat onto the top rack let's add some soaked woodchips to our fire box for maximum smoke.
- Now that we have some time.
- Let's make the bbq sauce.
- Pour in a the balsamic vinegar.
- Now whisk in the ketchup.
- Add in all the spices, red pepper flakes included and whisk.
- Pour in the water.
- Toss in some rough chopped garlic and whisk.
- Bring to a boil and reduce by half.
- Then let it simmer on low for an hour.
- Now that we've had our pork smoking at 300F for 2 hours let's wrap it in foil to finish it off.
- Wrapping the meat keeps it moist.
- Let's also smother the pork in our Tangy BBQ sauce then wrap it up completely.
- Notice how dark the sauce got while simmering.
- All wrapped up.
- Keep it on the top rack for 2 more hours until it hits 170F internally.
- Times up.
- Let's pull the pork out.
- Let the pork rest 15 minutes before you slice it.
- Save the meat drippings from the foil wrap.
- I used the smoked pork to make a chopped pork sandwich
- Pile the pork onto a nice potato bun.
- Drizzle with the pork au jus and slather on some of that Tangy BBQ sauce.
- You can serve the pork however you like.
- It makes one hell of a chopped pork sandwich though.
- Bon appetit.
