Ingredients
- 6-8 lb boneless pork butt aka pork shoulder or Boston butt
- 2 tbsp prepared yellow mustard
- 3-4 tbsp steak seasoning or other spice rub
- 1 cup beer or apple juice
- ½ cup BBQ sauce divided
- 2 cups coleslaw your favorite kind
- 12 Hawaiian Sweet Rolls pull-apart or other buns
- Pickles for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat smoker (Traeger or other smoker) to 225ºF.
- Rub the pork shoulder all over with yellow mustard and generously season with steak rub. Place fat side down on the preheated smoker and allow to smoke for 3 hours.
- Remove the pork shoulder and increase the heat to 275ºF. Place the pork butt in a disposable aluminum pan fat side down and add the beer (or apple juice) and drizzle with 1/4 cup BBQ sauce. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and put back on the smoker for 3-5 more hours. Remove and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes, or until cool enough to handle for shredding into large chunks.
- In a large bowl, shred the meat with 2 forks or your hands if cool enough to handle.
- Cut Hawaiian roll sliders with a serrated knife and pile on the pulled pork. Drizzle with remaining BBQ sauce and top with the prepared coleslaw and pickles, if using. Place top bun on and use a toothpick to secure if it's too full. Serve immediately.
