Regal Eagle Pulled Pork Recipe

Nestled in Epcot’s American Adventure pavilion, Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue offers a delightful journey through regional American barbecue traditions. A standout dish is the North Carolina Chopped Smoked Pork Butt, renowned for its tender, smoky flavor complemented by a tangy vinegar-based sauce. If you’re craving this iconic dish but can’t make it to the park, here’s a Regal Eagle pulled pork recipe to bring a taste of EPCOT to your kitchen.

Cooking Tips

This recipe is best cooked in an Instant Pot. The pressure cooker will make the meat tender and fall off the bone. I was able to pull the bone right out when it was done. You can also make this in the crock pot if you don’t have an Instant Pot. A pork butt in a crock pot typically takes 8-10 hours on low or 4-6 hours on high, depending on the size of the roast and your slow cooker’s settings. The best way to know it’s done is when the meat is fork-tender and easily shreds.
