Ingredients
- 1.5 kilograms loin of pork
For the rub
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
For the barbecue sauce
- 6 tablespoons tomato ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sauce
- 2 teaspoons English mustard
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 3 teaspoons runny honey
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Instructions
- Start by mixing together the smoked paprika, mustard powder, garlic powder and salt. Rub it all over the pork, making sure you use it all and the pork is completely covered in the rub. Leave to sit for one hour while you light the barbecue.
- When the barbecue is ready, put the pork fat side down on the hot part of the barbecue. Leave it there for about 15 minutes until the fat is crisp and golden, then turn it over and place it on the cool part of the barbecue.
- Rotate every 10-15 minutes so that the pork gets an even char over the outside, and cook for 1.5 hours - 3 hours (dependant on the heat of your barbecue). Keep an eye on it - the pork is done when it is no longer pink. The internal temperature should be 72 degrees Celsius.
- When the pork is just about done, make your barbecue sauce by mixing together the barbecue sauce ingredients. Brush the barbecue sauce all over the pork, and return it to the barbecue for 10 minutes, turning regularly.
- Remove from the barbecue and rest for 30 minutes before cutting into thick slices to serve.
