Sous Vide Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Barbecue is something that is close to my heart. In my free time, I love to compete in BBQ competitions — the thrill of new recipes is something that excites me greatly — especially when I can utilize my Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker. With this recipe we're going to use a higher heat over a shorter amount of time to get the desired texture. The Sous Vide Pulled Pork recipe is one that I hope you'll enjoy — I'll certainly be coming back to it again and again.

Recipe Time: 08:00

Temperature : 179.6F / 82C

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless pork shoulder or country-style ribs, sliced into 2-inch pieces
• 1/4 cup barbecue dry rub, your choice
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, your choice
• 4 hamburger buns, split
• Pickles or pickled peppers, for serving

Directions

1. Set the Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 179ºF (82ºC).
2. Rub the pork with the dry rub and place in a large zipper lock or vacuum seal bag. Seal the bag using the water immersion technique or a vacuum sealer on the dry setting.
3. Place the bag in the water bath and set the timer for 8 hours. Keep an eye on the water levels; add additional water intermittently to keep the pork submerged.

Finishing Steps

1. When the timer goes off, remove the bag from the water bath. Transfer the contents of the bag to a large bowl.
2. Using your fingers, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Discard any large pieces of fat. Stir in the barbecue sauce. Season to taste with additional barbecue rub.
3. Serve the pork on top of hamburger buns with pickles or pickled peppers on the side.
