Method

Preparing the Pulled Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into large chunks.

  2. 2

    Make the Rub

    In a bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork pieces.

  3. 3

    Sear the Pork

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the seasoned pork chunks until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Slow Cook the Pork

    Transfer the seared pork to a slow cooker. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and barbecue sauce. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Cook

    Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

  6. 6

    Shred the Pork

    Remove the pork from the slow cooker, and using two forks, shred the meat. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the sauce.

Assembling the Pulled Pork Combo

  1. 7

    Prepare the Buns

    Slice the buns in half and toast them lightly if desired.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a generous amount of pulled pork. Top with coleslaw and pickles.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich and serve immediately with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
