Instructions

Roasted Pork

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

Step 2: Remove the pork from the marinade and place it in a 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 heat for 12 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 205 °F.

Step 4: Remove the pork and let it 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 the top bun and wrap in foil. Place the wrapped sandwiches on the grill set to medium heat, and press them with something heavy, such as a cast-iron skillet. Grill until cheese is melted. About 6 minutes.

Step 2: Remove the foil, then butter both sides of the sandwich. Return the grill to medium-high heat and brown each side to the desired doneness. Remove from the grill and enjoy!
