Sweet and Tangy Pulled Pork

Sweet and Tangy Pulled Pork is one of my go-to dinner recipes. We eat pulled pork on its own, in sandwiches, stuffed into tacos, piled on nachos, stacked with enchiladas, and last but most certainly not least, layered into BBQ Sundaes!

Ingredients

6 servings
  • 2 pound pork roast (shoulder works well)
  • 1 small onion (sliced thin)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoons dry ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps

  1. Rinse and pat dry the pork roast. Place onions in the slow-cooker or pressure cooker. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, kosher salt and pepper; mix thoroughly. Rub mixture all over roast and place the roast on top of the onions.

  2. In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, Worcestershire, red pepper flakes, sugar, mustard, garlic salt and cayenne pepper; whisk to combine. Pour over roast.

  3. CROCK-POT DIRECTIONS: Cover the pork in the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours, adding about 30-40 minutes for each additional pound if you're multiplying the recipe. Shred with tongs and allow the shredded pork to rest in the cooking liquids until ready to serve. Serve warm on your favorite rolls.

  4. PRESSURE COOKER DIRECTIONS: Seal the pressure cooker; cook on high for 60-90 minutes, (The cooking time is 90 minutes for the Insta-Pot, but I've been told that it requires less time for a stove-top pressure cooker.) check to see if it is shreddable. Cook an additional 30-40 minutes as needed. Shred with tongs and allow the shredded pork to rest in the cooking liquids until ready to serve. Serve warm on your favorite rolls. Enjoy!
