Neelys Pork Shoulder Recipes

NEELY'S BBQ PORK SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Place pork rib slab flat on a clean chopping board. Pull off membrane. Cut off the excess fat and meat. Season both sides of the slab with Neely's BBQ Seasoning. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
• Preheat your grill at 275 degrees F, using hickory wood and charcoal.
• Place the slab on the grill away from the flame, using indirect heat. Cook the slab for approximately 2 1/2 hours with the curl side up. Flip the slab over to finish cooking for approximately 1 hour or until you get full "bend" in the slab.
• For dry ribs: Pull ribs off grill, sprinkle Neely's BBQ Seasoning over entire slab. Cut between the bones and serve.
• For wet ribs: Pull ribs off grill, pour Neely's BBQ Sauce over slab. Cut between the bones and serve.
• Mix all the ingredients and set aside.
• Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a stockpot or large Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Reduce temperature to low and simmer, uncovered, for at least 2 hours.

THE NEELEY'S SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Pat the porkchops dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne and paprika.
• Dredge the chops in flour mixture on both sides until lightly coated.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and coat with the peanut oil.
• When oil is hot, slip in chops and fry on each side, about five minutes per side, until golden brown.
• Remove chops from pan and set aside.
• Add onions to pan and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
• Add three tablespoons of the seasoned flour left over from dredging the chops to the skillet and stir with a wooden spoon until it makes a paste.
• Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, making sure there are no lumps.
• Turn up the heat and allow the chicken broth to reduce and thicken occasionally stirring.
• Once the sauce coats the back of your wooden spoon, pour in the buttermilk.
• Add hot sauce and stir to combine.
• Return the chops to the skillet and simmer for 15 more minutes until the chops are cooked through.

NEELYS RUB FOR PORK RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix the paprika, sugar, and onion powder in a bowl. Transfer 3 tbls seasoning to a seperate bowl, (you will use this when making the barbeque sauce), add 2 tbls salt and 3 tbls pepper, and massage on to the pork. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 1 day. (Reserve the remaining barbeque seasoning.)

NEELYS' IF-YOU'VE-GOT-A-SMOKER BBQ PORK

Steps:

• Mix together the Neely's barbecue rub, pepper, and salt.
• Rinse the shoulder or butt thoroughly, pat dry with paper towels, and massage the seasoning mixture into the meat. Cover the meat with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 1 day in advance.
• Following the manufacturer's instructions, and, using lump charcoal and 1/2 cup of soaked and drained wood chips for the smoker (or 1 cup for the kettle grill), start a fire, and bring the temperature of the smoker or barbecue grill up to 275 degrees F.
• Place the pork on a rack in the smoker or on the grill. Cover, and cook the meat until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 165 degrees F, turning the pork every hour or so, about 6 hours total. Add more charcoal as needed to maintain the temperature, and more drained wood chips to maintain the smoke level.
• Transfer the pork to a rimmed baking sheet (this is important-you'll want to catch all the flavorful juices), and allow it to stand until cool enough to handle. Shred the pork into bite-sized pieces, and mound on a platter. Pour any juices from the baking sheet over the pork. At this point the pork can be served immediately, or covered with foil and refrigerated for a day.
• If you chill the pork, rewarm it, covered, in a 350-degree oven for about 30 minutes.
