Ingredients

Servings

BBQ Pulled Pork:

  • 3-3.5 lbs pork butt shoulder, boneless
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika use hot if you like spicy pulled pork, sweet
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 2 tsp cumin dried, ground
  • 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 oil FOR INSTANT POT USE ONLY, such as canola or grapeseed
  • 2 cups vegetable broth 1 cup only for slow cooker, or chicken broth
  • 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

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.
