Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs pork shoulder (boneless)
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups barbecue sauce (your choice)
- 8 hamburger buns
- 2 cups coleslaw (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and brown sugar to make the dry rub.
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Add apple cider vinegar to the bottom of the pan.
Cover the pan tightly with foil or a lid, and place it in the preheated oven.
Roast for 6-7 hours, or until the pork is so tender it pulls apart easily with a fork.
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces, discarding any large pieces of fat.
Mix the shredded pork with your barbecue sauce, stirring until the pork is thoroughly coated.
If you prefer, warm the barbecue sauced pork gently over low heat until heated through.
Serve the pulled pork on hamburger buns, topped with coleslaw if desired.
Enjoy your delicious pulled pork sandwiches with your choice of sides.
