Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork shoulder, boneless
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 hamburger buns
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
-
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub the mixture all over the pork shoulder.
-
Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork shoulder and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-6 minutes per side.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce.
-
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the seared pork shoulder in the Dutch oven.
-
Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
-
Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and transfer the pork shoulder to a cutting board. Shred the pork using two forks.
-
Skim off any excess fat from the sauce in the Dutch oven. Return the shredded pork to the Dutch oven and mix it with the sauce.
-
Serve the pulled pork on hamburger buns and enjoy!
