A simple Oven Slow Cooked Pork Shoulder recipe that will allow even "non-cooks" to cook like a pro! And if you use my delicious, homemade pulled pork rub recipe, it will take this recipe to a whole new level.
So what's the advantage of cooking meat "low and slow?" The end result, of course! When cooking my Oven Slow-Cooked Pork shoulder using this method, it will esnure that that roast is extremely tender.
But what if you don't have a shoulder cut or pork butt on hand, can you use another pork cut? Yes! Pork strips work just as well, if not better! Not only are the pork strips cheaper than a roast, but the dry rub penetrates the meat even more.

🤷🏻♀️ Recipe FAQs
Once the Pulled Pork is ready, there are all kinds of ways that you can serve it. Here are a few examples:
• Serve the meat piled high in a bun and drizzled with barbecue sauce. And whatever you do, don't forget some oil and vinegar coleslaw.
• Another way to enjoy pulled pork is in corn tortillas topped with shredded cheese, diced onion, cilantro, and sour cream.
• It's also great in a quesadilla, rolled into a burrito, or used to make a delicious Mexican Breakfast burrito.
It is highly recommended to cover the pork with foil while slow cooking it. The foil helps to keep the pork shoulder from drying out so that the pork retains its juices.
If you prefer pork to have some crispiness around the edges, you can easily broil the pork for a few minutes after shredding.
👩🏼🍳 Pro Tips
- Although there are many pre-made dry rub options, I like to make my own blend. I know not everyone enjoys making things from scratch.
- If you're limited on time, or just want to keep it simple, you can purchase dry rub instead.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for 5 days in the refrigerator.
- Freeze in freezer bags for longer storage.
