Pulled Pork Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into large chunks. Season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin.

  2. 2

    Sear the Meat

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a little oil and sear the pork chunks until browned on all sides.

  3. 3

    Slow Cook

    Transfer the seared pork to a slow cooker. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, vinegar, and water. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.

  4. 4

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

  5. 5

    Mix with Sauce

    Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker, add barbecue sauce, and stir to combine. Allow to cook on low for an additional 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the pulled pork on its own or in sandwiches, with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
