Pulled Pork

[YouKnowWho]

I paid $20 for 10lbs.  I watch for it on sale.

Think I may try this in the near future, since there are so many good reviews.  For anyone that wants a quick meal idea, I use leftover pulled pork, spread and spread on French bread, top with Mozzarella for a pulled pork French bread 'pizza'.  Even my super particular brother likes it.


Is the mustard noticeable?  I am not a mustard fan, but am willing to try it if it isn't a prominent flavor.

So if you did this with beef, what cut would you use?

Granted, my dried mustard is probably past it's prime but it is not noticeable honestly.  And it could easily be done without if you would prefer not to use it.

If I plan to shred beef, I generally use the cheapest cut available.  The longer it cooks, the more tender it gets.  And while this probably grosses others out - I prefer a really fatty cut and leave the fat on to add moisture (I tend to cut off afterwards). 

I have not made this recipe with beef though - but have done something similar with an "Italian" style roast.

I've never tried it with beef, but my gut says chuck roast.  Just guessing, though.

When I make crock pot shredded beef I usually use rump roast - also called bottom round.

Doing this today.  Raising to find the recipe for when I rub my butt later.  Hehe.

Lol

Do you ever flip it part way through?  The botton is in so much liquid and cooking moreso than the top(where the slab of fat sits). 

[MaryM]

Yes, sometimes I do flip it.

My brother and SIL have a smoker....you should hear us giggle and make comments about Uncle Jeff's butt - it's tender and juicy, we love his butt....my life with a house of men!

[becca]

Bought a butt.  Will rub it tonight and cook for tomorrow night(and future dinners).  We froze quite a bit last time.

[SilverLining]

Really becca?  You need to tell us the details when you rub a butt?   

[becca]

Well, truth be told, as a PT, and a mom, and a home "chef", I have rubbed all manner of butt in my life.
