bbq pulled pork

This easy pulled-pork recipe cooked in the oven makes the BEST pulled-pork sandwiches. And it takes about half the amount of time than it would in a slow cooker. 

Oven-Roasted Pulled Pork

pork shoulder

brown sugar

tbsp. kosher salt

tbsp. smoked paprika

garlic powder

onion powder

cumin

black pepper

vegetable oil

lager

c. ketchup

apple cider vinegar

Dijon mustard

c. brown sugar

Worcestershire sauce

Buns,

I used sam Adam's Boston lager with the recipe and the meat tasted wonderful. I made the bbq sauce and found it to be a little vinegary. Next time I'll cut back on the apple cider vinegar and maybe add a shot of jack Daniel's and a little more brown sugar. All in all a great recipe. My family loved it.

I LOVE this recipe. Like other commenters have mentioned, the BBQ sauce turns out too acidic for my taste. I also don’t like the taste of apple cider vinegar, so the last time I made this I used rice vinegar instead - still adds sweetness without being as overpowering. I used  1/4 cup and it was great - I suggest adding a tablespoon at a time and tasting until it’s right for you.

Fantastic recipe! We didn’t have any beer so I used apple juice instead, and it was great. The barbecue sauce was delicious, too. Such an easy recipe. I’ll be making it again!

I made it in a crock pot, 2-3 lb.roast, 9 hours on low. I used a chili lager and added the sauce at about 8 hours. Best pulled pork ever.

I found this recipe very forgiving of the substitutions I had to make for the onion and garlic powder and lager beer.  I used a small quartered onion, a few roasted garlic cloves, and a light ale beer I had in the frig.  I had about a 1.5 quart of "drippings" after roasting the pork.  I chose to only use about half to combine to make the home-made BBQ sauce.  This was my first time making pulled pork.  I cut the loin pork roast in chunks that would expose as much excess fat that could be cutaway as possible, so I ended up with varying sizes of hunks of pork.  Of a 4 lb roast, I ended up with about 2.5 lb after cutting excess fat.  During the pulling process, I was also on the lookout and removed excess fat that I found.  So, prep time is much more time intensive than the 10 minutes advertised.  But, to me, removing the excess fat is the most important part of the project.  I halved the recipe for the BBQ sauce, but followed it exactly.  I was worried when I tasted the combined ingredients of the sauce mixture, I wasn't that impressed, but then I remembered that it was supposed to be heated and simmered for awhile, so I did that.  It made all the difference.  It was really good. I would use this recipe again.

The pork  Came out excellent on its own. The barbecue sauce was a bit heavy on the Apple cider vinegar taste.  maybe just a little less vinegar next time.  The barbecue sauce was a little watery. May be removing a little of the dripping liquid would have been better. Otherwise the recipe was pretty good

Really easy and delicious.  Love the BBQ sauce too.

I found the sauce to be awful.  My family would never have eaten the meat had I put that mustardy tasting stuff on it.  Not a typical bbq sauce.

FAR too sweet. I'd use only 1 tbsp sugar and substitute two thirds of the ketchup with tomato paste.

Amazing pork and delicious sauce.  I didn’t have beer or apple cider vinegar and used ginger ale as a substitute... still a delicious sauce.

I made this for the family on NYE (a good luck food), but left out the BBQ sauce and used the drippings to make a sauce. I thought there would be some left over but it was such a hit that some were left wanting more. Real simple and delicious! Thank you!

This was an INCREDIBLE recipe for the pulled pork. I did not make the sauce after seeing reviews.

I went to my local meat market and spent a pretty penny on a 4lb shoulder. Best decision I had made. The rub had so much flavor. Instead of lager, I used a Vanilla Porter. Seared first, cooked for 3 hours at 300 with the lid. Took the lid off and cooked for another 1 hour 10 min. PERFECT. Extremely juicy, tender, and the flavor was out of this world.

This was one of those magical recipes where the result was far better than the sum of the ingredients. I don't have a Dutch oven so I used my All-Clad saucepan. It took a long time after 5 hours or so it was incredibly tender. There is no way I could use all of the drippings for a barbecue sauce so I pulled about a cup and a half and then used the recipe has directed. Way better than pulled pork I have made in an instapot. Great recipe.

Great easy recipe with great results! This is now one of my favorite cuts of meat and satisfies me just as well as smoked pork.

My first time making pulled porc and I loved it. Added a pinch more sugar in the sauce because I found it tasted too strong of mustard. I also added some garlic powder and a few drops of liquid smoke.

This Is The Most Tender Pulled Pork EVER

This Instant Pot Pulled Pork recipe makes the best BBQ pulled pork! The shredded pork is unbelievably tender, with a flavorful pulled pork rub and cooked in a delicious sauce. It&#039;s perfect for making pulled pork sandwiches, wrapping in tortillas, or adding to nachos or salads.

Instant Pot Pulled Pork

chili powder

paprika

salt

pork shoulder/pork butt*

olive oil

chicken broth

barbecue sauce (plus more for serving)

honey (or brown sugar)

cornstarch

water

burger buns (for serving, toasted if desired)

In a small bowl, stir together all spice rub ingredients until well combined.

Cut the pork into 4 pieces and trim off excess fat. Rub the pork on all sides with the spice rub.

Pour olive oil into Instant Pot insert and turn it on saute mode. When the pot is hot, place the pork in the Instant Pot and brown on all sides. You may need to do this in two batches. Transfer the browned pork to a clean plate.

Turn off Instant Pot. Pour about half of the chicken broth into the pot and use a rubber spatula to scrape up any browned bits off of the bottom of the pot. Add the rest of the broth, the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar and honey (or brown sugar). Stir to combine.

Return the pork to the Instant Pot. Close the lid. Turn the steam release valve to the sealing position. Set the Instant Pot to pressure cook at high pressure for 60 minutes.

The Instant Pot will take about 15 minutes to pressurize and then the cook time will begin. When the cook time is done, allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes (just leave the Instant Pot alone). Then, quick release any remaining pressure by carefully turning the steam release valve to the venting position (use either the handle of a long spoon or a potholder to turn the valve).

Transfer pork to a large bowl.

In a small bowl, stir together cornstarch and water until dissolved. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the sauce in the Instant Pot. Turn the Instant Pot on saute and cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 4-5 minutes. Turn off the Instant Pot.

Meanwhile, use two forks to shred the pork. Stir it back into the thickened sauce. Serve pork on burger buns topped with additional barbecue sauce, if desired.

smoked paprika

pork pork

beef

yellow small onion (chopped)

Whole wheat hamburger buns (for serving)

Your favorite coleslaw

tomato sauce

tomato paste

maple syrup

molasses

dry mustard

cayenne pepper

Stir

COOK THE PORK: In a bowl, stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub it all over the outside of the pork.

Saute

Add the oil to the Instant Pot and turn to SAUTE. Once the oil is hot, add the largest of the pork pieces and brown on two sides. This will take about 2 minutes per side. If your Instant Pot issues a “hot” or “burn” warning, turn the heat down (if you have that option), or if not, turn it off entirely and sear the pork in the residual heat. If the pot cools too much to brown, turn it back on. Remove the pork to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 2 pieces—you can cook the last 2 pieces at the same time as long as they do not overlap. Remove to the plate.

Scrape

Add half of the broth to the Instant Pot. With a wooden spoon, scrape up all of the stuck-on bits of food and seasoning.

Cook

Return the pork to the Instant Pot. Cover, seal, and cook on HIGH (manual) pressure for 40 minutes (for pork loin) or 1 hour (for pork shoulder/butt).

Vent

Once the pressure has built and the cook time has elapsed, allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes (do not open right away or the meat may be tough). Vent to release any remaining pressure then carefully open the Instant Pot.

Pour

Remove the pork to a large bowl. With a slotted spoon, scooped out most of the onions and add them to the bowl with the pork. Carefully pour all but 1 cup of the pork cooking juices into an extra-large measuring cup or bowl with a spout. Keep the extra liquid handy.

Whisk

PREPARE THE BBQ SAUCE: Turn the Instant Pot to SAUTE. Whisk in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, vinegar, syrup, molasses, Worcestershire, paprika, chili powder, mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne. Cover the pot loosely with the Instant Pot lid, still leaving some room for steam to escape (this sauce loves to splatter). Let simmer, whisking every few minutes, until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Once cool enough to handle, shred the pork with two forks or with your fingers. Stir the shredded pork, onions, and any juices at the bottom of the bowl into the pot with the sauce. If the sauce is too tight to easily coat the pork, splash in additional cooking juices so that the pork is nicely coated with sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Pile onto buns, top with slaw, and enjoy!
