How to Make Barbecued Pork Sandwiches
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Season the 3-lb boneless pork shoulder generously with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Heat a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat for 1 minute.
- Brown the pork shoulder on all sides, about 4 minutes per side, until nicely seared.
- Pour 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce into the Dutch oven.
- Cover the Dutch oven and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily shreds.
- Carefully remove the pork from the Dutch oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Using two forks, shred the pork into thin pieces.
- Return the shredded pork to the Dutch oven. Stir gently to combine with the remaining sauce. Cook uncovered over medium heat for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.
- Place the hamburger rolls on a serving plate.
- Divide the pork mixture evenly among the rolls and spoon it into each roll.
- Serve immediately with coleslaw, if desired.
