Baby Pulled Back Pork Recipe

Directions for Baby Pulled Back Pork

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork

   Start by trimming any excess fat from the pork shoulder. Cut it into large chunks to help it cook evenly.

2. 2

   Season the Pork

   In a large bowl, mix together the paprika, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork pieces to ensure they are well-coated.

3. 3

   Sear the Pork

   In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork pieces and sear them on all sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes per side).

4. 4

   Add Aromatics

   Once the pork is browned, remove it from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Combine Ingredients

   Return the seared pork to the skillet. Pour in the cider vinegar and chicken broth, ensuring the pork is partially submerged in the liquid.

6. 6

   Cook the Pork

   Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 4-6 hours, or until the pork is tender enough to be easily pulled apart with a fork.

7. 7

   Shred the Pork

   Once the pork is fully cooked and tender, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.

8. 8

   Add BBQ Sauce

   In a bowl, combine the shredded pork with BBQ sauce, mixing until the pork is evenly coated. Adjust the amount of sauce to your preference.

9. 9

   Serve

   Serve the pulled pork on buns with additional BBQ sauce if desired. Enjoy your delicious baby pulled back pork!
