YIELD: 12 servings.

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (3 to 4 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) beef broth
  • 2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3/4 cup steak sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 12 sandwich buns, split

Instructions

  • 1. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, brown roast in oil; drain. Add enough water to come halfway up side of shoulder; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until meat is just fork tender if you intended to slice the pork shoulder, 2 to 2-1/2 hours. For pulled pork, continue cooking until meat starts to shred, 30 to 60 minutes more. Remove meat; discard cooking juices or save for another use. Cool meat; shred and refrigerate.
  • 2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the next 10 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 1-1/2 to 2 hours. For pulled pork, combine sauce and pork; simmer, uncovered, until heated through, 30 minutes. Serve on buns. For sliced pork, serve sauce on the side.
