Tips For Perfect Results

Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking; pork is best at 145°F with a brief rest.
Sear the pork on high heat first to lock in juices and develop a flavorful crust.

Why This Dish Is So Satisfying
This recipe brings out rich and bold flavors in pork that are sure to satisfy any palate. The combination of spices and cooking techniques enhances the meat’s natural juiciness and tenderness. It’s a perfect dish for both family dinners and special occasions.
Step 1
Lightly heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pour some vegetable oil into a large Dutch oven and heat it until it’s shimmering. Brown the beef and pork roasts on all sides, about 3 minutes per side, to get a nice sear. Once browned, pour water over the meat, cover the pot, and pop it into the oven for about 2 hours.
Step 2
After that, take the Dutch oven out, uncover it, and remove the bones from the beef roast. Use a spoon or spatula to scrape up those tasty browned bits stuck to the bottom—they add so much flavor!
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour this sauce over the meat, stir everything together so the sauce picks up those browned bits, then cover the pot again.
Step 4
Turn the oven down to 250°F (120°C) and let it cook for another 2 hours. When it’s done, shred the meat with two forks. Serve it piled high on buns with the sauce, and add onions and pickles if you like. Enjoy!
