Ingredients
Pulled Pork
Homemade BBQ Sauce
Instructions
Prepare the Meat
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned.
Searing the meat helps lock in the juices during cooking.
Make the BBQ Sauce
Mix all BBQ sauce ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
Adjust the Cayenne pepper according to your spice tolerance.
Slow Cook
Place the pork in the slow cooker, pour the sauce over it, and cook on low for 8 hours.
Check the cooking after 7 hours; the meat should shred easily.
Shred the Meat
Once cooked, remove the meat from the slow cooker and shred with two forks.
Let the meat rest a few minutes before shredding for extra tenderness.
Final Mix
Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker and mix well with the remaining sauce.
Let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes to let the meat soak up the sauce.
