Instructions

Bourbon BBQ Pulled Pork and Sauce

  • Thaw Omaha Steaks Smoked Pulled Pork in refrigerator overnight; bring a large pot of water to a boil, add vacuum-sealed bag of pulled pork, and boil for 5 minutes to safely reheat without losing juices or flavor.
  • Place remainder of ingredients in large saucepan and whisk until well-incorporated; bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add pulled pork to BBQ sauce and fold in, simmering for about 2 to 3 minutes, until pulled pork is sticky and lacquered with sauce; season to taste as needed with salt and pepper.

BBQ Dry Rub

  • In a small bowl, whisk all ingredients together until well-incorporated

Burger

  • Remove burgers from refrigerator and allow to come to come room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • Season with BBQ dry rub on both sides.
  • Add vegetable oil to a large cast iron pan and bring to medium-high heat.
  • Place burgers in pan and cook on one side until nicely seared and browned, about 4 minutes; flip burgers, add cheddar cheese, and cook another 4 minutes, until cheese is melted and burger is cooked to desired doneness.
  • To toast buns, spread1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each side of bun and place in a separate pan; toast about 30 to 45 seconds until golden brown.

Assembly

  • Place burger on bottom bun and top with 4 oz. BBQ pulled pork and 2 pickles, then add top bun.
