I just wanted to say I successfully made this in the instant pot! Used 3.5 lbs of boneless pork butt cut into 4 pieces. Seared 1-2 min on all sides in sauté mode and then cooked on manual for 60 min in the sauce. Released pressure 5 min after cooking finished. Came out like a dream! Will be my go-to pulled pork recipe.
Hi Gaby! How would you adjust for cooking in a dutch oven? Thanks!
Wow this was delicious! The sauce was perfect. Rather than my crockpot I cooked it in my Dutch oven at 300° for three hours. Best pulled pork I’ve ever made! Thx a million 🙂
When you say cide vinegar do you mean apple cider?
yes!
HI Gabby! Do you know if this could be made in an instant pot and how you might modify it? Thanks!
I’m slowly working my way through all the recipes on my site for the instant pot!! But I would venture to say manual for 60 minutes!
do you think these sliders could be made ahead and frozen? I need to find a simple recipe to take to group meeting and I need to make it ahead and freeze it
you could make the pork ahead of time - but I'd assemble at the event!
Just a mention if you shop at Costco, they sell a 4 pack of pork sirloins, and they are super lean. I freeze them and pull them out one by one. They are about 6x8" but vary in size. I usually stick one in the fridge a day or so in advance, then throw it in the slow cooker in the am and by dinner it's done; perfect shred. All you have to do is touch it and it falls apart. I don't like a lot of fat, so this works well for me. You can always add.
Perfect! Give this one a try folks
Hummmm so the Pork Butt didn't shred, I cooked it 6 hours, not tender, not done, 7 hours, still not tender but fully cooked, maybe it was my cut but it was also extremely fatty. The zip of the sauce was delicious and so aromatic, I just wanted it to be fall apart delicious but it wasn't I chopped it up with a knife and fork but again the fat content... the taste was delicious, maybe will try again with a pork tenderloin.
did you let it go for the full 8 hours? The tenderloin won't shred as well, I'd go for the butt again and cut it into smaller pieces and trim a bit of the fat and let it go for the full 8 hours, even to 10 hours if needed.
I always use a pork tenderloin when I make my pulled pork, and add a little no-sodium chicken broth to the slow cooker.
Josh would devour a whole tray of these!
I love the whole slow cooker idea and your pulled pork is the way to go. Perfect for easy prep and a delicious outcome.
This was amazing. I've tried other recipes but this one was so flavorful without having to add an outside sauce. Definitely will be my go to recipe.
Before seeing this recipe I would have thought these would be really hard to make, but you explained everything so well! They look amazing!! I cant wait to try and make these. I actually shared this recipe here http://www.meshkomoments.com/healthy-football-game-food/ in my list of Healthy Football Game Food Ideas!! 🙂 I hope you will check it out.
