This tender and juicy pulled pork starts with a surprising choice: pork tenderloin. By simmering large pieces of pork tenderloin in a tangy sauce and then shredding it with two forks the result is tender pork tossed with lots of rich flavorful sauce. The final touch is a crunchy broccoli slaw with a mustardy dressing.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons molasses
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), cut into 4 pieces
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
3 cups broccoli slaw (6 ounces)
6 whole-wheat hamburger rolls, split

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cinnamon and cayenne and cook until toasted, 1 minute more. Stir in the chicken broth, ketchup, molasses and 1/3 cup of the vinegar. Bring to a simmer and add the pork. Simmer, covered, until the pork is just cooked through and tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the mustard with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar in a large bowl. Add the broccoli slaw and toss well. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Remove the pork to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. Increase the heat under the Dutch oven to medium high and cook the sauce until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Shred the pork with 2 forks into large chunks and return to the thickened sauce. Toss well to coat and simmer 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, to let the pork absorb the sauce. Serve on the buns with the slaw on the sandwiches or on the side.

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 lbs pork tenderloin, cut crosswise into 4 pieces
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
4 buns, for serving
Coleslaw, pickles, potato chips

Steps:

  • In a covered pot, simmer the pork, barbecue sauce, vinegar, and water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Shred the meat by pulling apart with two forks, and stir into the sauce.
  • Serve on buns. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork. Pork shoulder, also known as pork butt, is the best cut for pulled pork because it is well-marbled and has a good amount of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and juicy.
  • Use a good rub. A rub is a mixture of spices and herbs that is applied to the pork before cooking. It helps to flavor the meat and create a nice crust.
  • Cook the pork low and slow. Pulled pork is best cooked at a low temperature for a long period of time. This allows the connective tissue to break down and the meat to become tender.
  • Shred the pork. Once the pork is cooked, it should be shredded using two forks. This will help to separate the meat and make it easier to eat.
  • Serve the pulled pork on buns or rolls. Pulled pork is traditionally served on buns or rolls, but it can also be served on tacos, nachos, or even pizza.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for parties, potlucks, and other gatherings. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make pulled pork at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try!
