Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork shoulder (boneless)
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 large yellow onion (diced)
- 0.5 cups apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 0.5 cups BBQ sauce
- 6 buns (for serving)
- 1 cup coleslaw (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to create a dry rub.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pork shoulder.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the pork from the pot and set it aside. Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Deglaze the pot by adding the apple cider vinegar. Stir well to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom.
Add the brown sugar and chicken stock to the pot, stirring until combined.
Return the pork shoulder to the pot. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 3.5-4 hours, flipping the pork once halfway through, until it is fork-tender and easily shreddable.
Once fully cooked, remove the pork and shred it using two forks. Discard any large fatty pieces.
Add the shredded pork back into the pot and stir in the BBQ sauce. Let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Serve the pork on buns and top with coleslaw if desired. Enjoy your Tasty Wilbur!
