Sonny’s Pulled Pork
Ingredients:
– 4 pounds pork shoulder, bone-in
– 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon onion powder
– 1 tablespoon brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup beef or chicken broth
– 1 cup ketchup
– 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
– 1/4 cup honey
– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– Hamburger buns, coleslaw, pickles, for serving
Instructions:
1. Start by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to make a dry rub.
3. Rub the dry rub all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated.
4. Place the pork shoulder in a large roasting pan or Dutch oven and pour the broth around it.
5. Cover the pan tightly with foil or a lid and roast in the preheated oven for 4-5 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
6. While the pork is cooking, prepare the barbecue sauce. In a saucepan, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
7. Once the pork is done, remove it from the oven and shred it using two forks. Discard any excess fat.
8. Pour the prepared barbecue sauce over the shredded pork and mix well to coat evenly.
9. If desired, you can return the pan to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
10. Serve the Sonny’s Pulled Pork on hamburger buns with a side of coleslaw and pickles for a classic barbecue meal.
