Pulled Pork Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork

   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create a spice rub. Rub this mixture all over the pork shoulder.

2. 2

   Sear the Pork

   In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

3. 3

   Add Liquid

   Once the pork is seared, add the apple cider vinegar and water to the pot. Bring it to a simmer before covering the pot with a lid.

4. 4

   Cook the Pork

   Transfer the covered pot to the preheated oven and cook for about 4-5 hours, or until the pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork.

5. 5

   Shred the Pork

   Remove the pot from the oven and let it cool slightly. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the pulled pork as desired. It can be enjoyed on its own, in sandwiches, or with sides of your choice.
