Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork butt, sliced
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove the pork butt from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature, which ensures more even cooking.
- In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, brown sugar, cumin, salt, and pepper to create a dry rub seasoning.
- Pat the pork butt slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the seasoning adhere better.
- Generously coat both sides of each pork slice with the prepared dry rub, massaging the spices into the meat to ensure full coverage.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature around 375-400°F.
- Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking and create nice grill marks.
- Place the seasoned pork butt slices on the preheated grill, allowing space between each slice for even heat circulation.
- Grill the slices for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium doneness.
- Use tongs to flip the slices, ensuring they develop a beautiful caramelized exterior with nice grill marks.
- Remove the pork from the grill and let it rest on a clean cutting board for 5-7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice against the grain and serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
Tips
- • Always let your meat rest at room temperature before grilling to ensure even cooking • Pat meat dry before applying seasoning to help spices adhere and create a beautiful crust • Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature - 145°F is the perfect medium doneness • Allow meat to rest after grilling to redistribute juices and maintain maximum tenderness • Clean and oil grill grates before cooking to prevent sticking and achieve beautiful grill marks • Don't overcrowd the grill - give each slice enough space for proper heat circulation • Consider using a two-zone grilling method for more precise temperature control
