Marjorie Kanatzar'S Barbecues
A savory barbecue pork dish with rich flavors of Worcestershire, mustard, and vinegar, perfect for hearty sandwiches and casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Fry chopped onion in butter until translucent.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, prepared mustard, celery seed, catsup, and meat stock to the onion and simmer slowly for 15 minutes.
- Add cooked pork to the sauce and turn on low heat for 30 minutes, adding water if needed.
- Serve the pork with sauce on buns for delicious sandwiches.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the cooked pork in the sauce overnight before reheating. If you don't have meat stock, chicken broth is a great substitute. Instead of butter, olive oil works well for frying the onions. Adjust the amount of vinegar and mustard to your taste preference, and feel free to add spices like paprika or chili powder for a kick.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the barbecue pork on soft buns for a satisfying sandwich experience. Complement the meal with a side of coleslaw or a refreshing Fresh Broccoli And Bacon Salad for a crunchy contrast. You could also pair it with baked beans or potato salad for a classic barbecue spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm the pork and sauce in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions, covered, until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the pork with chicken or beef. Just ensure that the meat is cooked thoroughly, and adjust the cooking time as necessary. For example, chicken may take less time if shredded, while beef requires longer simmering to tenderize.
What type of buns work best for serving?
Soft hamburger buns or slider buns are ideal for this recipe as they hold the juicy pork well. You can also use crusty rolls for added texture. If you're looking for a healthier option, consider whole-grain or gluten-free buns.
Can I make this recipe in advance for a gathering?
Absolutely! This barbecue pork can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Just reheat before serving. It’s perfect for gatherings, and it pairs wonderfully with sides like the Spring Ham Bake or other American recipes.
