This tender and juicy pulled pork starts with a surprising choice: pork tenderloin. By simmering large pieces of pork tenderloin in a tangy sauce and then shredding it with two forks the result is tender pork tossed with lots of rich flavorful sauce. The final touch is a crunchy broccoli slaw with a mustardy dressing.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons molasses
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), cut into 4 pieces
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
3 cups broccoli slaw (6 ounces)
6 whole-wheat hamburger rolls, split

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cinnamon and cayenne and cook until toasted, 1 minute more. Stir in the chicken broth, ketchup, molasses and 1/3 cup of the vinegar. Bring to a simmer and add the pork. Simmer, covered, until the pork is just cooked through and tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the mustard with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar in a large bowl. Add the broccoli slaw and toss well. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Remove the pork to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. Increase the heat under the Dutch oven to medium high and cook the sauce until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Shred the pork with 2 forks into large chunks and return to the thickened sauce. Toss well to coat and simmer 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, to let the pork absorb the sauce. Serve on the buns with the slaw on the sandwiches or on the side.

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 lbs pork tenderloin, cut crosswise into 4 pieces
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 cup water
4 buns, for serving
Coleslaw, pickles, potato chips

Steps:

  • In a covered pot, simmer the pork, barbecue sauce, vinegar, and water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Shred the meat by pulling apart with two forks, and stir into the sauce.
  • Serve on buns. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork. Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork because it is well-marbled and has a lot of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the pork. Pulled pork is best when it is cooked until it is fall-apart tender, but not so long that it becomes dry and stringy. The internal temperature of the pork should reach 205 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce. The barbecue sauce is what gives pulled pork its flavor, so it is important to use a sauce that you like. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Let the pork rest before shredding it. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve pulled pork on a bun with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include coleslaw, onion rings, and pickles.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are having a backyard barbecue or just looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, pulled pork is a great option. With a little planning and preparation, you can make delicious pulled pork sandwiches that your family and friends will love.
