- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Prepare the Pork:
- Pat the pork shoulder or pork butt dry with paper towels. Season the meat generously with salt and black pepper.
- Make the Spice Rub:
- In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, brown sugar, dried oregano, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Rub the Pork:
- Rub the spice mixture all over the pork, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Sear the Pork:
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until browned.
- Add Aromatics:
- Remove the pork from the pot temporarily. In the same pot, add sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until softened.
- Return Pork and Add Liquid:
- Place the seared pork back into the pot. Add chicken or vegetable broth to the pot.
- Roast:
- Cover the pot with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for about 4-5 hours or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Shred the Pork:
- Once done, shred the pork using two forks. If there’s a bone, remove it and discard.
- Serve:
- Serve the roasted pulled pork on sandwiches, tacos, or as a main course with your favorite sides.
