Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds of succulent pork shoulder
- A generous half cup of finely chopped onion
- A single clove of garlic, minced to perfection
- A quarter cup of rich brown sugar
- A dash of dry mustard, just a teaspoon
- A hint of salt, about half a teaspoon
- A sprinkle of ground black pepper, a quarter teaspoon
- Two full cups of vibrant ketchup
- A quarter cup of the flavorful Worcestershire sauce
Step 1
To prepare this mouthwatering pork dish, start by cutting boneless pork shoulder into thin 1/4-inch slices. Pro tip: slightly freezing the meat beforehand will make slicing a breeze.
Step 2
For the slow cooker method, gather your sliced pork, fragrant onion, minced garlic, sweet brown sugar, zesty dry mustard, a pinch of salt and pepper, tangy ketchup, and bold Worcestershire sauce in the slow cooker. Give it a good mix, cover, and let it simmer on Low for 6 to 8 hours, stirring occasionally, until the pork is melt-in-your-mouth tender.
Step 3
If you prefer the Dutch oven method, in a sturdy Dutch oven or large saucepan, combine the pork slices with onion, garlic, brown sugar, dry mustard, salt, pepper, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix it all together and bring it to a gentle boil. Lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, stirring now and then, until the pork reaches that perfect tenderness that will have your taste buds singing.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your pork cuts fresh and flavorful by marinating them in a zesty barbecue sauce overnight. This will infuse the meat with delicious taste and ensure a tender bite every time.
- 2. Store your marinated pork in an airtight container or resealable bag in the refrigerator. This will help prevent any cross-contamination and keep your meat safe for consumption.
