To Make This BBQ Pulled Pork, You’ll Need:

4 pounds boneless pork shoulder/roast

2 tablespoons avocado oil or high-heat oil (canola or vegetable is fine)

1 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup dijon mustard

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1 cup chicken broth

To Make BBQ Pulled Pork:

Make the BBQ sauce by combining ketchup, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, dijon, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper in a medium saucepan. Bring the BBQ sauce to a boil and turn the heat to low. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, uncovered. Set it aside until ready for use.

Season the pork shoulder generously with salt and pepper on all of the sides. Heat the avocado oil in a large dutch oven and sear the pork shoulder on all of the sides over medium/high heat.

Leave the browned pork shoulder in the dutch oven. Pour the chicken broth into the dutch oven with the pork shoulder. Add the BBQ sauce right on top of the pork shoulder. Cover the dutch oven with a lid and place into the oven to bake. Bake for 2.5-3 hours at 375 degrees F. Once the pork is tender and can shred easily with a fork, it’s ready to come out of the oven.

Shred the pork shoulder with two forks and toss with the BBQ sauce on the bottom of the pot.

You can serve the BBQ pulled pork with coleslaw on potato buns or alongside a baked potato. It’s also so tasty over baked tots or nachos.
