Pork Marinade
Sandwich Assembly
Method
Preparing the Pork
- 1
Marinate the Pork
In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Wrap the pork in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- 2
Cook the Pork
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated pork shoulder in a roasting pan. In a separate bowl, mix apple cider vinegar and water, then pour the mixture over the pork. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake for about 4-5 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Shred the Pork
Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes. After resting, use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.
