  1. Easy Pulled Pork Recipe (En-US)

    Ingredients: 3–4 lb (1.4–1.8 kg) pork shoulder/butt, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp kosher salt, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp black pepper, 1–2 cups (240–480 ml) apple cider vinegar or broth, and optional BBQ sauce for serving. Steps: 1) Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Pat pork dry. Mix sugar, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper; rub all over pork. 2) Place pork in a Dutch oven or roasting pan. Add enough vinegar/broth to come about 1/2 inch (1–2 cm) up the sides. Cover tightly. 3) Roast 4–6 hours, until very tender and easily pulls apart. (Internal temperature is typically around 195–205°F / 90–96°C.) 4) Rest 20–30 minutes. Shred with two forks, then mix with a few spoonfuls of cooking juices. 5) Serve on buns or plates with BBQ sauce, coleslaw, or pickles.

  2. Quick Tips for Best Results

    For extra flavor, let the seasoned pork sit 30–60 minutes before cooking. If the liquid reduces too much, add a splash of broth/vinegar during roasting. If you prefer a slow cooker: cook on LOW 8–10 hours, then shred and mix with juices. To avoid dryness, keep the meat covered and don’t overcook beyond deep tenderness.

  3. Professional-care note (Food safety)

    For safe handling, refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and reheat to 165°F (74°C). Use a food thermometer to confirm doneness; pork should reach the tender, pull-apart stage and be fully cooked.

FAQ

Can I use pork loin instead of shoulder?

Not recommended—loin is leaner and can dry out. Shoulder/butt is ideal for shredding.

How long does pulled pork keep?

Refrigerate 3–4 days or freeze up to 2–3 months. Reheat to 165°F (74°C).

What’s the best way to shred?

Let it rest first, then shred with forks; mix back into juices for moisture.
