How to Make Better That Mean Chef S
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Generously coat a 3-4 lb pork shoulder roast with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
- Let the coated roast stand for 5 minutes.
- Re-coat the roast with flour, ensuring even coverage.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Brown the pork roast on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely seared.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of chicken broth, 1/2 cup dry red wine, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 2 bay leaves.
- Pour the broth mixture over the browned roast in the Dutch oven.
- Cover the Dutch oven tightly.
- Bake for 1 hour, basting the roast with the pan juices every 15 minutes.
- Remove the roast from the Dutch oven and place it on a platter. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the Dutch oven on the stovetop over medium heat. Bring the juices to a simmer, then reduce by half, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Using two forks, shred the pork roast.
- Gently toss the shredded pork with the reduced sauce.
- Serve immediately on buns, or with your favorite sides. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
