Smoked Pork Loin Sandwiches
Ingredients:
– 1 pork loin, about 2 pounds
– 2 tablespoons of your favorite dry rub seasoning
– 1 cup barbecue sauce
– 4 sandwich buns, split and lightly toasted
For the slaw:
– 2 cups shredded cabbage
– 1 carrot, grated
– 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
– 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare your smoker according to manufacturer’s instructions and preheat to 225°F (107°C).
2. Season the pork loin generously with the dry rub seasoning, making sure to coat all sides evenly. Allow the pork loin to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Place the seasoned pork loin in the smoker and smoke for 2-3 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.
4. While the pork loin is smoking, prepare the slaw by combining the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well to combine and adjust seasoning to taste. Set the slaw aside in the refrigerator until ready to assemble the sandwiches.
5. Once the pork loin is cooked to perfection, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice the pork loin thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
6. In a small saucepan, heat the barbecue sauce over low heat until warmed through.
7. To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of barbecue sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a generous portion of sliced smoked pork loin and a scoop of the prepared slaw.
8. Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich and serve immediately while the pork loin is still warm and juicy.
