Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich at BLT Steak

Bacon purists will be quick to distinguish pulled pork from bacon. True, the two dishes are usually completely different, albeit delicious in their own right – but not at BLT Steak. The downtown steakhouse prepares the pork for their BBQ sandwich with 100% slab bacon. The slab is simmered in duck fat for ten hours, then prepared in a confit of its own fat until it begins to fall apart into small, shredded pieces. The bacon is served in a tangy house barbecue sauce with pickled scallions on a sweet potato bun.
