Pork Burnt Ends With Spicy Butter Injection
Making burnt ends using pork butt and my original rub means that you get the flavor of pulled pork with that amazing, tasty bark in every single bite.
Servings 4 -6
Ingredients
- 3-4 lbs Country style ribs make sure they are cut from the pork butt
- Regular yellow mustard
- Jeff's original rub
- Spicy butter Recipe below
Instructions
Mustard and Seasoning
- Apply a coat of regular yellow mustard to all sides of the meat
- Sprinkle a generous amount of Jeff's original rub onto all sides of the meat
- Wait for about 20-30 minutes until the meat starts to get a "wet" look
Smoking the Meat - Step 1
- Place meat directly on grate or use a rack
- Smoke for 4-5 hours at 225-240°F or until the meat reaches 170°F in the center
- Bring the meat into the house and let it cool for about 30 minutes
- Once cool, cut the meat into 1-inch by 1-inch cubes
Spicy Butter Injection
- Mix 1 stick of melted butter with 1 TBS of your favorite hot sauce (I used Tabasco with Habanero)
- Use an injector to inject each piece with butter until the butter runs out of the meat
- Place injected pieces into an open foil pan
- Sprinkle on more rub to create a nice bark all over
Smoking the Meat - Step 2
- Place the pan of injected pieces back into the smoker
- Continue to smoke cook for about 2 hours or until they get tender to your liking.
- Stir occasionally while they cook
Finishing up
- Serve immediately on toothpicks as an appetizer, piled onto a bun or as an entree with several vegetables or sides.
