NC Style BBQ:

Ingredients
Pork:
1 pork butt (8–9 lbs)
2–3 tsp salt
2–3 tsp black pepper
2–3 tsp Outlaw BBQ seasoning (or your favorite BBQ rub)

Lexington Style Dip (BBQ Sauce):
1 cup ketchup
1 cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup water
½ cup brown sugar (adjust to taste)
2–3 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
2–3 tsp black pepper
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Squirt of yellow mustard (optional)
Juice of ½ a lemon (optional)

Red Slaw:
⅓ head green cabbage, finely chopped
½ cup ketchup
½ tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp crushed red pepper
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions
1. Preheat your pellet grill to 275°F.
2. Remove the pork butt from its packaging and season it thoroughly on all sides with salt, pepper, and BBQ seasoning.
3. Place the pork on the grill and smoke it until the internal temperature reaches about 180°F, approximately 8–9 hours. You may continue smoking slightly longer for enhanced tenderness.
4. While the pork is cooking, mix all the Lexington Dip ingredients in a bowl. For deeper flavor, simmer the mixture on the stovetop over low heat for 10–15 minutes.
5. Finely chop the cabbage and place it in a large bowl. Add salt and sugar, stir well, and let it sit for 10–15 minutes. Then mix in the ketchup, vinegar, black pepper, crushed red pepper, and lemon juice until evenly combined.
6. When the pork reaches 180°F, remove it from the grill and cover it. Let it rest for 1 hour.
7. After resting, chop the pork into small pieces using two cleavers or knives. Add some of the Lexington Dip directly to the chopped meat for extra flavor.
8. To assemble, place a generous portion of chopped pork onto a bun, top with red slaw, and drizzle with additional dip if desired.
9. Serve hot and enjoy the classic Carolina flavor—perfect for gatherings, tailgates, or any BBQ occasion!
