I saw this recipe in an old Southern Living, too (October 2005) and I knew from just reading the recipe that it was going to be good ~ and it was!! Made the recipe exactly as posted and the meat was fall apart tender - you hardly need to shred it with two forks. I used about 3# of pork butt steaks that I had on hand and they worked great. I was going to post this recipe on Zaar, but you saved me the time and trouble - thanks for posting!!
