Preference Poll: Beef or Pork BBQ?

“You prefer BBQ beef or BBQ Pork?”

“My usual preference is pulled pork BBQ, but once in a while I go for the smoked beef brisket. Yummers... sounds a s--tload better than dinner tonight.”

“Its gotta be the BBQ BEEF!

I'm Hungary just thinkin about it!”

“Hungary? Shouldn't that be goulash then? ;)”

“neither. Im not fond of pork or beef...


chicken would be best”

“It depends on the cut. I'm married to a meat cutter!
Go for ribs if your wanting pork. You have to boil it first in beer, water and spices. Then put it on the grill and add sauce at the end. Yummm! It'll fall right of the bone.
If steak is your thing, I go for Rib Eye. Marinate in a beer, a few spices and make sure to NOT overcook it. I think that's what we're having tonight. Yummm, I'm hungery”

“Pork me baby! Although I do love a good carnitas.”

“Considering I was raised in the county ranked 1st in the nation for production of hogs...I'm all about the PORK!”

“Oh man, I can't believe you're making me choose. It's hard to outdo a really good steak though...”

“i am still too close to the vegetarian I was 6 months ago... I can't recall the last time I had bbq anything”

“A spam lamb”

“Steaks make me happy, but for barbecue, there's nothing better than pork, baby!

“Definitely pork.”

“BBQ Pork. I love it if it's done right.”

“I forgot to say but nothing beats Pork”

“Pork. And Pecan is the best wood for slow smoking.”

“Pulled Pork Shoulder,

yummmmm yum.”

“Pork is my clear favorite. But a smoked beef brisket is a welcome change of pace.”

“Pork!
Pork!
Pork!

I smoke a lot of pork. Wood from nut trees smoke well, and also the wood from fruit trees. Nut and fruit wood are kind of mellow. I live on 8 acres and have lots of hickory trees. I use hickory a lot too.”

“A nice thick Porterhouse!!!
Two....two steaks in one! On one side of the bone you have a New York and on the other side you have a Filet Mignon 8)

Songbyrd...my father in-law was a meat cutter for 30 years.”

“Hard to beat slow-cooked beef or pork ribs (with wood chips, of course), or a good rib-eye or porterhouse steak...don't make me decide!”

“Barbeque the pork, grill the beef.”

“Since when is steak BBQ?


Pork all the way. Smoked Boston Butt or smoked ribs. Ya gotta have the right sauce too.”

“i think pork lends itself better to slow bbq cooking as long as you don't over cook it...beef is a little more forgivin in that respect...i usually cook my beef using a wet method, either in a crock pot or roasting pan w/ liquid in the oven...although i usually finish beef on the grill”

“pork”

“Pork fer ribs. But nothing is as good as a nice brisket. I always get ribs w/ a side of Brisket. Birch eats all the chicken.

“LOL... I feel I need to do something with this poll, being in the stuff dreams are made -- AKA "The Heartland" -- and all....”

“It's all good.

Here's our next cookoff, everyone is invited, all you can eat and drink. (last year's bar bill was almost $6,000).

“Beef or Pork BBQ?

Yes, please, both.”

“It depends on the kind of preparation and the place.

At the nearest great BBQ place, it's mostly beef: Ribs, Burnt Ends, Brisket. I especially love Texas style Ribs and Brisket.

I love good pork ribs, but I usually find pulled pork to be boring - but there have been a few times when I had some I loved. At some places, pork ribs have been what I order most. I was quite dissapointed in the pulled pork I had the last time I wa in North Carolina.”

“You gotta give that pork shoulder a good rub first. If you just smoke it, it won't be nearly as good.

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup paprika
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons cayenne

PREPARATION:

Mix all ingredients. Work 1/2 half mixture into meat 12-24 hours before cooking. Apply remaining rub before smoking.


That looks like a pretty good rub.

I also prepare a spicy vinegar sauce to apply to the meat just before eating. I usually mix up about a tablespoon of chili powder, half-cup of vinegar, half-teaspoon of salt, maybe a little pepper, and about a tablespoon of hot sauce, then cut it with a a little water. Mix that up real good and apply it to the pulled pork. Yum!”

“Oh yeah, now your talking bit. Thats how its done!”

“BEEF!!! It's what's for dinner.”

“It sounds good Bit!”

“A lot of pulled pork is bland until you put some kind of sauce on it. Some people like a tomato-y BBQ sauce. I think that's defiling good pulled pork, but it can be really good on ribs or brisket.”

“Chopped pork bbq, North Carolina style, with a vinegar base instead of tomatoe, topped with cole slaw. Hush puppies on the side and green beans that have cooked all day with a big slab of bacon. Ok, now I am hungary.”

“You evil people are gonna make me spend some money at lunch.
I feel a half rack of ribs calling.......

..and man, we have this great little hole in the wall place with an outdoor BBQ that makes stuff just to die for.
It reopened last week.”

“Barbecue is the #1 reason I didn't stay a vegetarian for long.”

“You damn peeps cost me $12 plus for lunch.
Boy am I full.”

“I made some excellent pulled pork in my crockpot last night. Vineger based with tomato.
Yum Yum!

“Pulled PORT? what the F is pulled Port Wine?

LOL...I like Beef BBQ, unless I am entertaining Moslems. Then it is specifically Pork. (LOL)”

“hee hee.....thanks”

“I made a citrus/spice braised pork for Cuban sandwiches yesterday. It was awesome!”

“What kind of BBQ do I prefer?

Yes please.”

“Man, that does sound good, Noncon.

I've almost ODed on pulled pork, now.”

“I did 3 racks of pork ribs for a Super Bowl party. I must say, they rocked the house.

I already had a rack of spare ribs for the party and hit the grocery store that Sat morning for 1-2 more. I get there and they had baby backs about 60% off. I bought 4 racks and froze two for late. It was a chore getting the 3 racks on the smoker, but 4.5 hrs later they were awesome.

I tried to find a way to work the word "rack" into my post a few more times but ran out of ways. Oh well.”

“i'm with hpm, but given a choice, pulled pork shoulder can't be passed over.”

“Yes please.”

“Pork and beef briskets slow cooked are excellent.

Lately, I have been passing over the short rack or rack of beef for boneless pork shoulder-style ribs. Boneless, very juicy, boiled for 30-40 mins and then grilled for 15. Succulent.”
