Time 10h20m

Yield 16 cups, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 -6 lbs pork shoulder (aka "Boston Butt", NOT loin. Have your butcher tie it for you, you want the STRINGY SHOULDER!)
1/4 cup Emeril's Original Essence (or your other favorite BBQ rub mixture.)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes (I like fire-roasted)
1/2 cup ketchup (Heinz)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
1 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup prepared yellow mustard
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons liquid smoke
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic granules
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 (14 ounce) can low sodium beef broth

Steps:

  • Spread seasoning run liberally over all meat. Place rubbed roast into a large Zip-Lock plastic bag. Chill overnight, or at least several hours. Recommend you make sauce at the same time, so it's ready to go the next day.
  • Preheat regular oven to 225, or crock pot to medium/low.
  • In a large, heavy Dutch oven, heat oil to medium. Brown the seasoned roast until all sides are caramelized. Remove excess fat. Combine all SAUCE ingreadients, and pour over meat. Cover and cook for 8 - 10 hours.
  • Remove meat from pan. Place on large plat and cover with foil until cool enough to handle. Whilie meat is cooling, combine the cornstarch and beef broth with a fork, to remove lumps. Add this thickening agent to the sauce in the pan, to creat the BBQ sauce. Bring to a gentle boil, without the lid, and simmer until thickened. Taste for seasonings.
  • When meat is cool, shred meat by pulling with a fork. Add meat to sauce, and discared any fat and butcher's twine. Simmer approximately 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Serve as a sandwich on warm potato hamburger buns with coleslaw &/or potato salad. Many people like the slaw ON the sandwich. Freezes well.

I'm not a huge fan of BBQ sauce, so I used a different sauce instead. The pulled pork was still delicious, and everyone loved it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork shoulder. I usually make a big batch of pulled pork on the weekend, and then I use it throughout the week in different dishes.

I'm not usually a fan of pulled pork, but this recipe changed my mind. The meat was so juicy and tender, and the BBQ sauce was the perfect complement. I served it on slider buns with coleslaw and pickles, and it was a hit with my whole family.

This pulled pork recipe is a game-changer! The meat was fall-apart tender and incredibly flavorful. The slow cooking process in the crock pot really brought out the best in the pork. I'll definitely be making this again and again.
