Turn a fresh cut of pork shoulder into Guinness pulled pork sandwiches made in the oven without a slow cooker.

Happy Memorial Day! What a better way to celebrate than with meat? I originally planned to post these Guinness Pulled Pork Sandwiches for the Holiday Recipe Club, but apparently I can’t read a calendar. Although I missed the official link up, I still have an awesome sandwich to share. Pork butt braised in Guinness for a few hours until soft enough to shred. You don’t need a slow cooker either (since I’m one of the few people in the world who doesn’t own one).

You start off by making a dry rub and rubbing the pork butt (technically it’s pork shoulder). Then you cook it with Guinness, onions, and garlic for a few hours or until you can easily shred it with a fork. Since I didn’t want to tie up my oven, I used my trusty multi cooker, which is similar to a slow cooker but cooks at a normal heat. However, you can use your oven and bake the pork in a large pot.

As you can see, there is no sauciness to it. It’s moist enough to eat as is, but you may want to add your favorite BBQ sauce on top. If I would’ve known ahead of time, I would’ve made a Guinness BBQ sauce to accompany it. Although pork works really well, I bet beef would make a good substitute.

    This sounds delicious, Carla. I’m a huge fan of pulled pork, but that’s about the only way I like the meat. I’ve had it all kinds of different ways from chops to roasted and even stuffed – and it’s most of it I won’t touch again. But pulled pork – mmmm…. And the Guinness and dry rub can only make it better ;)

      Sorry! I converted some of my older recipes to the recipe cards for easier printing and somehow that info didn’t transfer over. It makes roughly 8-12 sandwiches. Prep time probably about 15 minutes or so.
