Ingredients
BBQ Pulled Pork:
- 3-3.5 lbs boneless pork butt (shoulder)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp sweet smoked paprika (use hot if you like spicy pulled pork)
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp brown sugar, packed
- 2 tsp ground cumin dried
- 3 tbsp yellow mustard like the stuff you park on a hot dog
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper I add this to the rub and it mostly cooks off - my kids don't notice it or find it too spicy
- 1 tbsp vegetable, such as canola or grapeseed* (FOR INSTANT POT USE ONLY)
- 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth** , 1 cup only for slow cooker
- 1 recipe BBQ sauce to follow below
BBQ Sauce:
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar go buy this type of vinegar, the others just won't do
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
BBQ Pulled Pork: INSTANT POT Method
BBQ Pulled Pork: SLOW COOKER Method
BBQ Sauce:
Notes
- * use an oil with a higher heat tolerance such as canola, avocado, or grapeseed
- ** I sometimes switch out part of the broth for a can of beer for some extra flavour flav. I also occasionally add 1 tbsp of gochujang which is a sublime Korean chilli paste for some extra tang.
- **** I don't use the juices and broth left in the IP/slow cooker. I find it quite fatty and the pulled pork is usually so juicy with the BBQ that it doesn't need the juices left in pot. If you like your pulled pork extra extra moist, add a bit of the juice left in pot.
- *** Apple and Cabbage Slaw:
- 2 tbsp plain yogurt1 tbsp lemon juice1/2 tsp kosher salt1 sm tart apple, such as Granny Smith, cut into matchsticks 1 cup thinly sliced cabbage1 sm carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks1 green onion, thinly sliced.
- Toss all ingredients together. Serve immediately.
