Tar Heel Dirt - Eastern North Carolina Infusion

North Carolina Eastern BBQ Sauce

Liberally coat select cuts of pork with Tar Heel Dirt, working it into the meat with your fingers. Let sit at room temperature for 2 hours.

Smoke at 225°F or slow bake, basting with Mop Sauce as it cooks until the internal temperature reaches 195–201°F. Let rest before serving.

Mop Sauce: In a saucepan over moderate heat (do not boil), combine:

• 2 cups apple cider vinegar

• ¼ cup Tar Heel Dirt

Reserve ¼ cup of the sauce.

Serve pork on a toasted bun topped with coleslaw and the reserved mop sauce.

Perfect sides: Macaroni & cheese, homemade baked beans.

Bonus uses: Sprinkle on burgers, vegetables, French fries, popcorn, or eggs.

Tar Heel Dirt is crafted with paprika, brown sugar, chili heat, and bold herbs. Rooted in North Carolina’s barbecue tradition, this tangy, peppery blend cuts through pork and ribs with serious bite.
