Cuban Pulled Pork Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork

   Season the pork shoulder with garlic powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the pork.

2. 2

   Sear the Pork

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes per side.

3. 3

   Slow Cook the Pork

   Transfer the pork to a slow cooker. Add apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and water. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

4. 4

   Caramelize the Onions

   While the pork is cooking, slice the onions and sauté them in a skillet with a bit of olive oil over medium heat until caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.

5. 5

   Prepare Jalapeños

   Slice the jalapeños. You can remove the seeds for milder heat if desired.

6. 6

   Assemble the Sandwich

   Once the pork is cooked, shred it using two forks. Layer the pulled pork, caramelized onions, jalapeños, and provolone cheese on a sandwich bun. Drizzle aioli on top before serving.
