Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil, then cover on all sides with the pulled pork rub.
- Heat a large oven-safe pot, or dutch oven, on the stove over high heat.
- Once the pot is hot, place the pork in it and sear on all sides for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and apple juice.
- Cover the pot, place it in the oven and cook for 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 203°F, using a meat thermometer. This is the ideal temperature for fall-apart-tender pulled pork.
- After removing the pork from the oven, use tongs to remove the pork shoulder from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Use meat claws, two forks, or your hands with heat-resistant gloves, to pull the pork apart. The pulled pork can then be tossed back in the liquid in the dutch oven, or tossed with bbq sauce before serving.
Notes
- One pound of boneless pork will give you approximately 2 cups of pulled pork. Using this measurement means you’ll end up with approximately 6 cups of pulled pork if you’re using a 3 pound boneless pork shoulder. I like to use about 3/4 cup of pulled pork on a sandwich. Using this measurement means that this recipe will make approximately 8 sandwiches.
- To add even more smoky flavor to the pork and give it more of a smoked pork shoulder taste, add 1 teaspoon of liquid smoke with the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
- If you’d like to make this recipe sugar-free, omit the apple juice and add another 1/2 cup of beef broth.
