Why This Recipe Works

An indoor pulled pork recipe requires a dual cooking method to keep the meat moist inside while developing a flavorful outer crust. So we figured out how long we needed to cook our Boston butt covered and then uncovered to achieve this result. For a smoky barbecue flavor when making an indoor pulled pork recipe, we found that liquid smoke, which we used both to brine and rub the meat, did the trick. A pulled pork recipe wouldn’t be complete without at least one of the three authentically regional sauces we developed to moisten and flavor the meat.

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in medium bowl with 1/2 cup defatted cooking liquid, reserved from step 5 of Indoor Pulled Pork with Sweet and Tangy Barbecue Sauce (see related recipe) and whisk to combine.
