Memphis-Style Pulled Pork Shoulder features succulent, slow-cooked meat bathed in a tangy, slightly sweet sauce with hints of vinegar and brown sugar. The roast becomes tender enough to shred easily, making it ideal for piling onto buns or serving alongside slaw at casual gatherings, game days, or weekend cookouts. Expect a balanced, smoky-leaning barbecue flavor with gentle heat and rich juiciness.

    Scatter the onion slices and garlic cloves across the bottom of a slow cooker. Mix in the beef broth, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and pepper. Place the pork roast on top.

  2. 2

    Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours. Take the pork out of the slow cooker. Strain the juices and pour them back into the slow cooker. Combine the water and cornstarch in a small bowl; stir this into the juices until the sauce thickens.
