Pulled Pork

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into large chunks for easier cooking.

  2. 2

    Make the Rub

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

  3. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker

    Place the pork chunks into the slow cooker. Pour the sautéed onion and garlic mixture over the pork. Add the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and water. Toss to combine.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pork

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

  6. 6

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Shred the meat using two forks, and return it to the slow cooker to soak up the juices.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the pulled pork as a side dish, with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
