Instructions

Roasted Pork

Step 1

Mix all the ingredients except pork shoulder into a bowl. Season the pork butt with salt and pepper and cover with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.

Step 2

Remove pork from marinade and place in high sided casserole dish or pan. Strain the marinade and add the liquid to the pork. (Optional: This will keep the pork moist while it smokes).

step 3

Smoke at high smoke for 12 hours or until internal temperature reaches 205 °F.

step 4

Remove pork and let rest. Pull pork.

step 5

Place sandwiches in the pellet grill until the sauce is bubbling. About 3-5 minutes.

Monray Sauce

Step 1

Spread mustard on both sides of the roll. Add the roasted pork, then add ham, cheese and pickle. Top with top bun and wrap in foil. Place wrapped sandwiches on grill set to medium heat while pressing the sandwiches with something heavy like a cast iron skillet. Grill until cheese is melted. About 6 minutes.

step 2

Remove foil and butter both sides of the sandwich. Return to grill and brown each side to desired doneness. Remove from grill and enjoy!
