Equipment

Instructions

  1. Mise en place

    Gather and measure pulled pork, BBQ sauce, brioche bun, coleslaw, pickle, and butter with a skillet, bowl, tongs, knife, and board. · 3 min

    What to look for: All ingredients are measured, buns are split, and tools are within reach.

  2. Warm pork

    Heat the skillet over medium heat, add pulled pork, and stir until the shreds loosen and steam rises from the meat. · 3 min

    When it is done: Pork is cooked; reheat to 74°C / 165°F if it was chilled.

  3. Sauce pork

    Add BBQ sauce to the hot pork, fold with tongs, and cook until every shred looks glossy and the sauce bubbles lightly. · 2 min

    When it is done: Pork is fully heated when it is steaming throughout.

  4. Toast bun

    Spread butter on the cut sides of each brioche bun, then toast in a clean skillet until golden and fragrant. · 2 min

    What to look for: The cut sides are golden with a light crisp edge.

  5. Build sandwich

    Pile sauced pork on the bun bottoms, top with coleslaw and pickle slices, and close with the warm bun tops. · 2 min

    What to look for: The sandwich is tall, juicy, and the slaw sits visibly above the pork.

  6. Serve warm

    Serve the sandwiches at once, with extra pickles on the side if any remain from the measured portion. · 1 min

    What to look for: The bun is warm and the filling looks glossy and generous.
