Okay, I'm from Texas and Texas is beef, but it's hard to resist the 97 cents per pound price of pork shoulders when they go on sale, which is often. This recipe takes time, but is easy and you'll think it came from a smoker.

Ingredients
  • 1 pork shoulder, or picnic bone-in (about 12 pounds)
  • Course ground black pepper

Directions
  1. Place pork roast on roasting rack
  2. Sprinkle with black pepper
  3. Place in 400 degree oven uncovered for 1 hour
  4. Reduce heat to 300 and continue cooking for another seven hours. Meat will be falling off the bone.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool enough to handle with bare hands, but still warm.
  6. Begin tearing meat with hands shredding meat by PULLING.
  7. Meat can be used for sandwiches or plate.
  8. Slather BBQ sauce liberally.
  9. For sandwiches the Memphis way is to top with coleslaw.
  10. Don't forget the napkins. This is messy, but good!

I got this recipe years ago from a BBQ operator who believed meat rubs were for looks and judging. The rub doesn't get inside the meat, he said. It just makes it look pretty and pulled pork doesn't have to look pretty.


That long, slow cooking just makes it perfect. I cook them often. And your recipe with the course ground pepper is a wonderful way to cook them! Just perfect. We love pulled pork! :)


This sounds absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe and I am printing this out as we speak! =D


This is wonderful. Memphis BBQ in an oven. It's too cold outside (and raining like a cow doing its business on a flat rock) to do smoker stuff. Thanks for the post!


Oh yeah - this makes the best pulled pork imagineable. That deliciously slow and long cooking time is the ticket. After seeing your recipe, I am so jonesing to make this again....like this weekend. Great post - thanks so much!


Soooooo easy and soooooo good. Thanks for the great post!


Great stuff I injected the pork with apple juice then put apple juice in the bottom of the pain while it was cooking. great post thank for this one!!!! good stuff
