Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Pork shoulder (or pork butt)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 6 ounces Sugar-free tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
- 1 cup Chicken broth
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and erythritol.
Rub the olive oil all over the pork shoulder. Evenly coat the pork with the spice mix, making sure to cover all sides.
Place the seasoned pork in a large roasting pan. Pour the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth into the bottom of the pan.
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil or a lid and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 4 to 5 hours, or until the pork is very tender and easily falls apart.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the BBQ sauce: In a saucepan, combine the sugar-free tomato paste, liquid smoke, a pinch of salt, and some black pepper. Stir over low heat, and add a little water if it's too thick.
Once the pork is done, remove it from the oven. Using forks, shred the pork directly in the pan, mixing it with all the juices.
Stir the BBQ sauce into the shredded pork until well combined.
Serve hot. Enjoy your Keto Smoky BBQ Pork with a side of low-carb vegetables or in lettuce wraps for a complete meal.
