Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork shoulder (boneless)
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
- 6 pieces Brioche buns
- 0.5 cup Pickles (optional)
- 1 cup Coleslaw (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) or set a slow cooker to low heat.
Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder, if desired.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to make a dry rub.
Rub the spice mixture generously all over the pork shoulder, ensuring even coverage.
Place the pork shoulder in a roasting pan or the insert of your slow cooker, and pour the chicken or vegetable stock around (not directly over) the pork.
Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil, or secure the lid on your slow cooker.
Slow-cook the pork for 7-8 hours or until it becomes tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Remove the pork from the cooking liquid and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then, shred the meat using two forks.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded pork with barbecue sauce, stirring until the meat is well coated. Add more sauce if desired.
Lightly toast the brioche buns to enhance their texture.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering a generous portion of BBQ pork on the bottom half of each bun. Add pickles and coleslaw if desired, then top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious BBQ Pork Sandwich!
