Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds boneless pork shoulder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup BBQ sauce, dairy-free
Instructions
Start by trimming any excess fat from the pork shoulder. Pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cumin.
Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder until it is well covered.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until it is browned, about 5 minutes per side.
Place the chopped onion in the bottom of a slow cooker. Place the seared pork shoulder on top of the onions.
In a separate bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, liquid smoke, and water. Stir well to create a sauce.
Pour the sauce over the pork in the slow cooker, ensuring the meat is well covered.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily pulled apart with two forks.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix with the cooking juices.
Stir in the dairy-free BBQ sauce and let it heat through for about 20 minutes on low.
Serve the dairy-free BBQ pulled pork on buns, over rice, or in tacos, and enjoy your meal.
