Y'all, this is my first post on your site, so I hope I follow etiquette here. I searched but couldn't find an answer to my question.
I'm entering a jambalaya cook-off tomorrow, but my role is really to serve as the coach of teenage cooks. A local church (Central Louisiana) is hosting the cook-off as part of their fall festival, and they've recruited folks to serve as coaches to their participating teenagers.
Anyway, my usual method is to smoke ribs (following the Last Meal Ribs Recipe on this site) to de-bone & put in my jambalaya. I think it's the perfect & fairly-uncommon addition to jambalaya, and I've received high marks at other cook-offs with it. Well, the rules & regs of the cook off define our timeline to be very short (3 hours total) in the contest tomorrow, so I won't have time to follow the recipe and procedure properly.
So, I'm looking for a grilled/smoked pork alternative to the Last Meal Ribs Recipe. I need a cut of pork that I can grill in 2 hours, but I'd rather not use pork chop steaks (although that may be my only option). I want to still use the Meathead's Memphis Dust on the pork. I've considered the boneless pork ribs (my local Sam's sells them), but I'm afraid I still can't get them cooked properly in 2 hours.
I know I'm expecting a lot here, but does anyone have a suggestion on what cut of pork I can cook in 2 hours? I'll need 2 pounds of uncooked meat for this.
Thanks a bunch!
