SLOW COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK



Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork image

If you've spent any time on Pinterest or food blogs, you've likely come across a recipe for three-ingredient barbecue pulled pork that can be made in the slow cooker. Methods and ingredients vary, but the recipe almost always calls for boneless pork shoulder, some sort of dark cola (usually Dr Pepper or root beer) and barbecue sauce. Dubious? We were too, so we asked the members of our NYT Cooking Community Facebook page if anyone had ever made it and if they liked it. We received more than 150 very opinionated responses. Many readers have come up with their own clever twists, like using coffee or beer in place of cola, adding onions or chipotles, rubbing the meat with a spice blend and searing the meat before cooking. We tried cooking it a few different ways and found we liked this adaptation best. It calls for a few more ingredients and an extra step or two, but it's got layers of flavor and it's still mostly fuss-free. (You can find the pressure-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Time 10h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons hot or sweet smoked paprika
2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
3 to 4 pound boneless pork shoulder or pork butt, trimmed of most of its excess fat
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus additional for greasing
1 yellow onion, chopped (optional)
1 (12-ounce) can dark soda, like Dr Pepper, root beer, cola or birch beer
1/2 to 1 1/2 cups homemade or store-bought barbecue sauce
Hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork. If you have time, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight. If you don't, no worries; proceed to Step 2.
  • Lightly grease the crock of a slow cooker. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear the pork until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes each side. Add onion, if using, to the slow cooker. Add the pork on top of the onion. Pour soda over the pork and set the slow cooker to low for 6 to 8 hours, until the meat has collapsed and shreds easily.
  • Drain most of the liquid from the slow cooker and shred the meat directly in the pot. Add about 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce and stir to combine. (At this point, if you like crisp bits in your pulled pork, you can spread the shredded pork on a sheet pan and place under a broiler for a couple minutes then return to the slow cooker.) Taste and add more barbecue sauce, hot sauce, salt or pepper, if desired. Serve with soft rolls and extra sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Cut of Pork: For fall-off-the-bone tenderness, select pork shoulder or pork butt. These cuts have a high fat content that melts during cooking, resulting in juicy and flavorful meat.
  • Preparing the Pork: Before cooking, trim excess fat from the pork shoulder. You can also score the meat to help it absorb the marinade better.
  • Homemade Barbecue Sauce: Making your own barbecue sauce allows you to customize the flavor profile to your liking. Use a base of ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and spices like paprika, chili powder, and garlic powder.
  • Slow and Low Cooking: Patience is key when slow cooking pork shoulder. Cook it on low heat for 8-10 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C). This allows the collagen in the meat to break down, resulting in tender and succulent barbecue.
  • Adding Liquid: To prevent the pork from drying out, add a cup of liquid to the slow cooker. This can be water, broth, or even apple juice for a hint of sweetness.
  • Shredding the Pork: Once the pork is cooked, shred it using two forks or a meat shredder. This will make it easier to serve and eat.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked pork barbecue is a classic dish that is sure to please a crowd. With the right cut of pork, a flavorful marinade, and low and slow cooking, you can achieve tender, juicy, and flavorful barbecue that melts in your mouth. Whether you serve it on a bun, over rice, or as a taco filling, this versatile dish is perfect for any occasion. So fire up your slow cooker and let the aromas of smoky, tangy barbecue fill your home.
