Ingredients:
To start off, let’s gather all the necessary ingredients for our mouthwatering pulled pork recipe:
- 3 pounds of boneless pork shoulder
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon of ancho chili powder
- 1 tablespoon of onion powder
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 2 tablespoons of Caribbean mustard
Preparation:
-
Prepare the pork shoulder: Start by rubbing the pork shoulder with brown sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, ancho chili powder, onion powder, salt, and Caribbean mustard. Make sure to cover the entire surface of the meat with the seasoning mixture.
-
Let it marinate: Once seasoned, cover the pork shoulder with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 6 hours or overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat and enhance its taste.
-
Cook the pork shoulder: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the marinated pork shoulder in a baking dish and cover it with aluminum foil. Cook it for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C). This slow cooking process will ensure that the meat becomes tender and easily falls apart.
-
Shred the pork: Using two forks, shred the cooked pork shoulder into small, bite-sized pieces. The meat should be so tender that it effortlessly falls apart. The video showcases how the pulled pork falls apart, making your mouth water just by looking at it.
