Ingredients

Scale
  • 3-4 pound pork shoulder (Boston butt)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Slider buns
  • Coleslaw (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  • Season the pork shoulder generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Remove the pork from the pot and set aside. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • In the same pot, combine the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.
  • Return the pork to the pot, nestling it into the sauce. If necessary, add a little water or chicken broth so that the pork is mostly submerged. Bring to a simmer, then cover the pot and transfer it to a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C). Cook for 5-6 hours, or until the pork is very tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
  • Remove the pork from the pot and let it cool slightly. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. Discard any large pieces of fat or connective tissue.
  • Return the shredded pork to the pot with the BBQ sauce. Stir to coat the pork evenly. Serve warm on slider buns, topped with coleslaw if desired.
