Shredded Pork Belly

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

As a great alternative to pork belly burnt ends or bacon, you can cook pork belly low and slow (and long) to get tender, shredded pork. Use it in Asian food, or as fillings for a great fusion taco!

Ingredients:

  • slab of pork belly, skin removed and your favorite pork rub

Start your grill to 275*

Season liberally with your favorite pork-focused rub, and place in the preheated smoker grill. 

Cook, fat side down until the internal temperature reaches 208*. This should take 4-6 hours.

Remove and rest for 10-15 minutes.

Using two forks, shred the meat and serve as a filling for tacos or burritos, or accompanied with rice and Asian veggies.
