Ingredients

  1. 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
  2. 2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
  3. 2 tablespoons coarse salt
  4. 1 tablespoon chili powder
  5. 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  6. 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  7. One 5- to 7-pound Boston pork butt
  8. Two 12-ounce bottles wheat ale beer
  9. 1 cup store-bought barbeque sauce
  10. 1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
  11. 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
  12. 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  13. 2 1/2 pounds green cabbage, cored and finely shredded
  14. 1 large carrot, coarsely grated
  15. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  16. 12 brioche buns, split

Instructions

  1. For the pulled pork: Mix the paprika, pepper, salt, chili powder, garlic powder and brown sugar in a bowl. Rub all over the pork. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to overnight. 
  2. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Pour the beer into a roasting pan. Place the pork in the pan, cover with foil and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 170 degrees F, about 6 hours. Remove the pork from the oven and let the meat rest for at least 20 minutes. 
  3. Heat the barbeque sauce in a saucepan over low heat. Keep warm. Shred the pork using two forks. In a large bowl, toss the pork with the warm barbeque sauce until well coated. 
  4. For the coleslaw: Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Add the cabbage and carrots and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The coleslaw can be made up to 2 hours in advance. 
  5. To serve, spoon the pulled pork mixture onto the bottom half of a brioche bun, and top with some coleslaw and the other bun half.

Simple list of ingredients, results were delish. I added a step and smoked the meat on my grill for 2.5 hours before braising in the oven. Great taste, big hit with the guys.
