Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Root Beer image

Easy slow cooker pork shoulder is excellent for making delicious pulled pork sandwiches or serving as an entree. Serve over rice or with Hawaiian sweet bread for a yummy little sandwich. I like to top the pulled pork with sliced roasted red peppers, blue cheese, and chimichurri sauce to make a delicious sandwich with Argentinean flavor.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Lunch

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
3 lb pork shoulder, cut into 6-8 equal pieces
1 tablespoon canola oil
½ medium yellow onion, minced (about 1 cup - 150 G)
1 can root beer
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
½ cup barbecue sauce
½ medium green cabbage, shredded
½ cup red onion, pickled
1 carrot, shredded
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
sandwich roll
barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Make the pulled pork: In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, coriander, and paprika.
  • Add the pork to a large bowl and sprinkle with the spice mixture, tossing to coat evenly.
  • Turn an Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Add the canola oil and heat on medium heat. Working in batches, add the pork to the pot in batches and brown all over, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board.
  • Add the onion to the pot and cook for 3-5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the root beer, vinegar, and barbecue sauce to the pot and stir to combine.
  • Return the pork to the pot, nestling the pieces in together so they fit in a single layer and are sitting evenly in the cooking liquid. Put on the lid and seal the pressure valve.
  • Cook on normal pressure for 60 minutes. Once the timer has stopped, let the valve naturally release for 15 minutes before manually opening the valve.
  • While the pork is cooking, make the pickled onion slaw: In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, pickled onions, carrot, vinegar, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Using tongs, transfer the pork from the Instant Pot to a large bowl. Turn Instant Pot to the sauté setting and reduce the braising liquid by half, 10-12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, use 2 forks to shred the pork into small pieces, discarding any large pieces of fat or sinew.
  • Starting with ½ cup (120 ml), gradually add the reduced braising liquid back to the pork until juicy and well-coated.
  • To serve, spread barbecue sauce on both sides of each roll. Place a generous scoop of pork on each bottom bun and top with a small scoop of pickled onion slaw. Top with the top bun and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork because it's flavorful and has a good amount of fat, which helps keep it moist during cooking.
  • Sear the pork before cooking: Searing the pork before cooking helps to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a flavorful rub: The rub is what gives pulled pork its flavor, so be sure to use a blend of spices that you enjoy. Some popular spices for pulled pork include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Cook the pork slowly: Pulled pork needs to be cooked slowly and gently in order to become tender and juicy. The ideal cooking temperature is between 225 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Baste the pork regularly: Basting the pork with the cooking liquid helps to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Shred the pork when it's done: Once the pork is cooked, shred it with a fork or two forks.

Conclusion:

Beer-pulled pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. With its tender, juicy meat and flavorful sauce, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make meal, give beer-pulled pork a try. You won't be disappointed!
