HOW TO COOK YOUR OWN BUTT More down home recipes from the McCay family archive The flavor and texture of Real pit Bar-be-cue is impossible to reproduce with any other method of cooking. If you're not willing to dig a big hole in your back yard and set fire to it, try this recipe. You will need:
Place the pork butt fat side down in a pan and thoroughly brush the meat with Southland Bar-be-cue sauce. Cover and place in the fridge to marinate for an hour. Light the grill and allow the charcoal to burn down until it is completely covered with white ash. Place the pork butt on the grill, fat side down. Cook, brushing with sauce frequently, until the fat has acquired a nice browned look. Then turn the butt over (lean side down), brush with sauce and cover with the grill's top to allow the meat to smoke for one to two hours over a steady medium heat. When you can see water flowing freely from the meat after being stuck with a fork, you're ready for the next step. Remove the pork butt from the grill and wrap it snugly with aluminum foil. Place the wire rack in the pan and add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Then place foil wrapped meat in the heavy pan, cover tightly and place in a three hundred degree oven. This will take at least two to three hours to finish cooking depending on the size of the butt. When you can carefully poke the foil wrapped meat with a finger and it's soft as fresh white bread, your butt is done. Be patient, this is a recipe that can't be rushed.
