• 1 1/2 tbsp paprika
• 2 tsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp celery salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp dry mustard
• 1/2 tsp cracked pepper
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 pork tenderloin or chop per person
• 1 olive oil
• 18 oz BBQ sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's - Sweet & Spicy BBQ)
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 water
• 1 sandwich or burger buns
• 1 sweet pickles, diced
• 1 red onion, diced

1. Mix all spice rub ingredients.
2. (Crack whole black peppercorns in a bag with a meat hammer.
3. Show them who's boss).
4. Pat pork dry and coat with the spice rub.
5. Heat a frying pan till hot with olive oil (low 5-10min, med 3-4 min, then med-high), then sear the pork on all sides until seriously browned(/burned), about 3-4 minutes each side.
6. Reduce heat (med-low) and cover, cook until done (about 10-15 minutes) test doneness by touch.
7. Keep checking.
8. (Can be done a day in advance, cool and chill, wrapped in fridge).
9. It's cool to burn the crap out of the bottom here, it adds to the flavor in the end.
10. Score outside of pork with lengthwise knife cuts (helps pull the moisture IN).
11. In heavy pot, combine pork with enough water to just cover it.
12. Add cider vinegar and 1/3 cup BBQ sauce.
13. Bring to boil and then simmer over medium heat covered, 1 hour or more.
14. Remove pork and shred with forks.
15. Dump out pot, add remaining bottle of BBQ sauce in pan over medium high, stir in shredded pork and heat thoroughly, allowing sauce to soak into pork.
16. Steam buns in pot with steamer rack over high, about 2 minutes.
17. (I ignored, was too hungry).
18. Top bottom half of bun with pork, pickles and onions.
19. Finish with top half of bun.
