So, picture this: a juicy, perfectly seasoned pork butt that practically melts in your mouth with every bite. Here’s how you can make it happen with a simple homemade rub that’ll elevate your next barbecue session.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.
- Pat the pork butt dry with paper towels, then generously coat it with the rub mixture. Make sure to massage it into every nook and cranny for maximum flavor.
- Let the seasoned pork butt sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your grill or smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the pork butt on the grill or smoker and cook it low and slow until the internal temperature reaches 195-200°F (91-93°C), about 1.5 hours per pound.
- Once done, remove the pork butt from the grill and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before shredding or slicing it.
