Pulled Pork




Take 5-6# boneless pork (I used a boneless loin/roast but you can use any type of pork: country ribs, thick boneless chops...) - rub with olive oil and spread with a mixture of seasonings:salt, fresh ground black pepper, garlic powder, dash of mustard powder, paprika, chili powder, cayenne, seasoned salt, cumin powder. 
Put the meat on a HOT grill and sear it --- several minutes on each side.  You don't 
want to burn it, but rather put a nice char on the skin & seal the juices.

You can finish cooking this two different ways:
 a.)  Put the seasoned pork in a greased 9x13" pan. Crush/mince 4 cloves of garlic, slice a large white onion (approx. 1-2 cups) and scatter over the pork. Pour a cup of beer (or ginger ale) over the seasoned meat.  Bake, uncovered for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from the oven & in a bowl, mix together & pour over the pork: 1 cup ginger ale, 1 cup water, 1/4 cup catsup, 4 Tblsp. worcestershire sauce & 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce (home made or bottled - I used Jack Daniels brand). Cover pan tightly, return to oven & bake @325 degrees for 2-1/2 - 3 hours until pork is ultra tender. Uncover and mash pork with a potato masher or pull it 
apart with forks. If you like it 'saucier', add more sauce before serving.

OR

b.) Put the meat in a dutch oven or heavy pot.  Top it with 4 minced cloves of garlic, a large white onion, sliced (1-2 cups), a cup of beer (or ginger ale),  1/4 C. catsup, 4 T Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 c. of your favorite barbeque sauce (home made or bottled).  Cover and simmer for 2 or more hours, until the meat is fork tender.  If there's too much liquid in the pot, drain SOME of it out, test for seasoning and then pull the meat apart with forks & serve.
