Pulled Meat

[jennyjoan]

I do not like the above in any kind of meat - pulled - don't like the texture of all those shreds and shreds in my mouth. Do you.

[maggiebee]

Never had pulled meat - is it cooked in a specific way?

[High5]

I like it

[EcclesCake]

Yes.

I make a nice slow cooked beef skirt and a shoulder of pork. Both are tasty and handy to have in the freezer.

They are quite versatile meals.

Jenny, i always think pulled meat is another excuse to disguise dodgy meat.I hate it, can't really see any reason to ruin a piece of meat by shredding it unless you are trying to disguise it. some food bod on the telly said that if it doesn't look like the animal it came from, then it could be anything, meaning a chicken leg looks like a chicken leg, pulled chicken???who knows what that may have come from.

Pulled Pork with some spicy dressing and salady bits innabun .... mmmmm ... hungry now :)

[lardhelmet]

I think it sounds rude.

[jennyjoan]

I agree with you Annie very much.

I have done my own roast beef maybe too tender making it a bit hard to carve and when there were shreds Mr Harv got them. No way could I have put them into a bap or sandwich.

Naughty Step, lardhelmet ... now :)

[jennyjoan]

don't get the rudeness - am I missing something

[High5]

I love a bit of shreaded pork

[AlwaysConfused]

i love it. Pulled pork with a sweet bbq dressing with salad and jacket potatoes. The meat melts in your mouth.

I like my meat to have some shape to it. Chop shape, steak shape, slice shape. I don't like shredded meat either, jennyj.

[Tilly2]

'Get your coat, you've pulled!' Not heard that, jj?

[High5]

Ditch the confused salad always

Count me in for a platter - with a nice rum based bbq sauce.

Slow-cooker Pulled Pork with Rum BBQ Sauce

1 tsp. chilli powder beefed up with a fresh red chilli or two
1 tsp finely chopped garlic
Dash of salt and pepper - and yes, Eccles, chipotle pepper
2 - 3 lb. pork tenderloin
juice of a lemon
slug of maple syrup
medium onion
lots of BBQ sauce (your choice)
3oz dark rum and a dash of Frank's Red Hot Sauce or similar - Tabasco


Cooking Instructions:

Night before: Combine chili powder, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Drizzle tenderloin with lemon juice.
Rub spices into tenderloin. Put in zip-lock bag and marinate over night.

Chop onion and place in bottom of the cooking pot (best a Le Creuset or equiv).
Remove tenderloin from bag and chop into 1-inch cubes.
Arrange cubes over the onion.
Combine BBQ sauce, maple syrup run, and hot sauce (tobasco)and pour over tenderloin. Actually I add a bit of Dijon mustard
Cover and cook on a very low heat for 6 to 7 hours. Then pull meat into shreds with a fork.

Goes well with homemade coleslaw, soft baps and some spud salad or equiv..I like to add green apple and wasabi in to the salad.

DTC - that was a lengthy post - since I did say I do not like pulled anything - Yuck.

[lardhelmet]

I don't like pulled pork or beef jerky.

[DTCwordfan]

But plenty do, jenny, the evidence is above.

[jennyjoan]

DT - would say 50/50

As long as the meat is properly tender and not stringy and forced apart,you should be able to separate it with 2 spoons with no trouble,yummy.
