Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and take the pork roast out of the fridge to bring it to room temperature.
-
Season the pork roast on all sides with salt and black pepper, and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
-
In a large oven-safe Dutch oven or roasting pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
-
Sear the pork roast on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the pan and set it aside.
-
In the same pan, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the pan. Stir well to combine.
-
Return the pork roast to the pan, nestling it in the sauce. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil.
-
Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and roast for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
-
Every 30 minutes, baste the pork roast with the barbecue sauce in the pan to keep it moist and flavorful.
-
Once the pork roast is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing or shredding.
-
Serve the Tavern Style Barbecue Pork Roast with the remaining sauce from the pan, alongside your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables.
