Oven-Roasted Pulled pork | How To make Pulled pork Recipe

Pulled pork Recipe Everyone needs to pull a good-pork recipe, and this, my friends, is the best. Insanely loaded with the tender and barbecue flavor, so you sandwiched between a dream about it (a soft potato bread) often. And that’s fine, but the idea is to make it much easier. 

What cut of pork should I buy?

This recipe calls for a weak pork shoulder. Although there is not a lot of fat, long cooking makes it lose toughness over time. You could also use a pork butt, which has fatter marbled and will result in even more flavor and tender meat. 

Why cook pulled pork in the oven and not the slow cooker? 

Our slow pulled cooker bomb pork, and we love that we can just dump once everything-sauce ingredients and all. But it also takes a long time at least 5 hours. And, more importantly miss cooker at a slower pace, you burn out at the ends. 

The burnt ends are? They are blackened edges resulting from caramelizing fat and sauce ingredients. 

Do I need to sear the meat first?

If you want burnt ends (and I know you do!), then yes. And if you’re using a Dutch oven, it’s a quick and easy step. That said, it’s not 100 percent necessary. 

Can I use store-bought sauce?  

Yep! Though you should know our recipe requires ingredients you likely have in your pantry already.  

Can I skip the beer? 

Short answer: Yes. But you’ll need to sub in an equal amount of another liquid, like apple cider. But if you want to leave it out just because you don’t like it, reconsider! Beer pairs really nicely with pork, and in the oven, it takes on a caramelly, toasty flavor. 

What else can I do besides sandwiches? 

The limit does not exist. Tacos with pineapple slaw, pulled-pork crescent rings, and BBQ shepherd’s pie are just a few of our amazing pulled-pork recipe ideas.
