Abbie's Favorite Oven Pulled Pork

AbbieAbbie

One of my favorite make-ahead meals for company. Serve with spicy slaw.

ingredients

  • Dry Rub
  • 3 T paprika
  • 1 T garlic powder
  • 1 T brown sugar
  • 1 T dry mustard
  • 3 T coarse sea salt
  • 1 (5-7 lb) pork roast, preferably shoulder or Boston butt
  • Cider-Vinegar Barbecue Sauce
  • 1 1/2 C cider vinegar
  • 1 C yellow or brown mustard
  • 1/2 C ketchup
  • 1/3 C packed brown sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 t kosher salt
  • 1 t cayenne
  • 1/2 t freshly ground black pepper
  • Pan drippings from the pork
  • hamburger buns

directions

  • 1

    Mix the paprika, garlic power, brown sugar, dry mustard, and salt together and rub over pork. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.

  • 2

    Preheat the oven to 300°. Roast pork for about 6 hours. Roast until the meat reaches 170° or until it’s falling apart.

  • 3

    For the sauce, combine vinegar, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, salt, cayenne, and black pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently, stirring, for 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.

  • 4

    When the pork is done, allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes. While it’s resting, deglaze the pan over medium heat with 3/4 cup water, scraping with a wooden spoon to pick up all of the browned bits. Reduce by about half. Pour that into the saucepan with the sauce and cook 5 minutes.

  • 5

    While the pork is still warm, use 2 forks to pull the meat apart into shreds. Put the shredded pork in a bowl and pour half of the sauce over. Stir it all up well so that the pork is coated with the sauce.

  • 6

    Serve on hamburger buns with a pickle slice.
