Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork shoulder (boneless)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 4 pieces Kaiser rolls (or any crusty sandwich rolls)
• 2 cups Coleslaw mix
• 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp Sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Rub the spice mix all over the pork shoulder until it is evenly coated.

Step 4

In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat. Brush the pork shoulder with half of the BBQ sauce and cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil.

Step 6

Place the pork in the preheated oven and cook for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 7

While the pork is cooking, prepare the coleslaw. In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Mix well and set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

Step 8

Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Use two forks to shred the pork into small pieces. Toss the shredded pork with the remaining BBQ sauce.

Step 9

Slice the Kaiser rolls in half and lightly toast them in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat.

Step 10

To assemble the sandwiches, place a generous mound of BBQ pulled pork on the bottom half of each roll, followed by a serving of coleslaw. Top with the other half of the roll.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious pork sandwich!
