WATERMELON BUTT RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the marinade.
• Put the pork into a casserole dish. Fill a syringe with the marinade and inject 3/4 of the way into the pork. Inject the meat in several places with the marinade. Pour the remaining marinade over the meat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 12 hours, so flavors can permeate.
• Preheat a grill to 275 degrees F, using indirect heat and applewood soaked chips.
• Drain off excess liquid from the meat and pat dry with a towel. Season the pork with Neely's Dry Rub seasoning, to taste, making sure you cover the sides. Arrange on the grill with the fat side facing up. Grill until the meat is tender, about 6 hours. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

Steps:

• Lay the pork steaks on a cookie sheet or pan.
• Sprinkle about 1 tsp of Mortons kosher salt on the top side of the pork steaks. Place the steaks in the fridge uncovered for 3 hours.
• Rinse the steaks under cold water to remove any residual salt.
• Season both sides of the meat with Jeff's original rub.
• Set up the smoker for cooking at about 225°F with indirect heat. Use the water pan if you have one.
• Cook the steaks on the smoker for about 2.5 hours or until they reach 185°F in the center.
• About 30 minutes before they are finished, you can sauce them if you like. Brush sauce onto top side, wait about 15 minutes then flip over and do the other side.
• Rest under loose foil for about 10 minutes before serving.
