The tangy mustard profile complements Carolina vinegar sauces perfectly

  2. Apply directly on the cold pork from the fridge.
  3. Let rest in the fridge uncovered for 4–12 hours before cooking.
  4. Cook straight from cold.

Notes

Dry mustard doesn't taste strongly of mustard when cooked — it acts as a binder and adds a subtle tang that pairs perfectly with Carolina vinegar sauces.
