Summer is the time for grilling, BBQs and for great food like a mouthwatering Mesquite Smoked BBQ Pork. This is the time of year when we love to gather friends and family together and enjoy their company with great food. And nothing brings people together better than the most mouthwatering dishes.
But you don’t have to be a brilliant culinary artist to bring chef inspired, restaurant-quality meals into your home. You simply need the right ingredients and a proven recipe.
And it’s even better when the recipe is easy and effortless, am I right? Who has time for a complicated recipe, right? After all, not all of us studied at a culinary arts school. And many of us have kids running us ragged. Easy is a MUST for busy moms right?
Not to worry. Smithfield Prime award-winning chef partners are in your corner to help you host the most amazing dinner this summer, with easy restaurant-quality recipes for your guests. For example, there’s this amazing Mesquite Smoked BBQ Pork dish from Chef Seth Adams.
Mesquite Smoked BBQ Pork Perfection
It may look a little daunting at first, but truly it is so easy because it only takes a few minutes of your time at each step. Then you simply walk away and let it sit and work it’s magic! It’s a dream come true for a busy mom. And nothing is more mouthwatering than brined and grilled meats. Seriously!
To make the recipe really shine you need to ensure you pick a quality cut of pork like Smithfield Prime. Smithfield Prime Fresh Pork is made of all-natural, premium fresh pork that is 20% more tender than other leading brands of pork (without an adding solution).
It is hand-trimmed with the perfect color and marbling for optimal flavor. And with no artificial ingredients, growth additives, added hormones or steroids you know you are getting the best quality meats which we always watch for when providing meats for our family.
You can get Smithfield Prime in all your favorite pork cuts including Tenderloins, Boneless Loins, Back Ribs, St. Louis Style Spareribs, Boneless Chops, Bone-In Chops, Sirloins, Shoulder Butts, and Roasts.
My favorite is pork roasts, which you know from our Crockpot Pork Roast recipe. They make the best family dinners when Mom is rushed and busy. There are so many fun ways to prepare them and the leftovers are awesome for making sandwiches or nachos the next day!
So now that we have a Smithfield Prime shoulder butt roast, let’s get to the recipe for this amazing Mouthwatering Mesquite Smoked BBQ for your next summer gathering!
