Indulge in the symphony of flavors with this Pulled Pork Sandwich! Tender, juicy pulled pork is slathered in a tangy BBQ sauce, then piled high on a toasted Kaiser roll with a refreshing coleslaw. It's messy, it's delicious, and it's utterly irresistible.

Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 hrs

In a bowl, combine brown sugar, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, salt, and paprika. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
2 hrs

Rub the spice mixture generously over the pork butt. Cover and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld. (Marinating time: 5+ hours)

03

Step
15 mins

Pour beef stock and 1/2 cup hot sauce into a pressure cooker. Stir in 3 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon molasses, maple syrup, and crushed garlic. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Place the pork butt in the pressure cooker, seal the lid, and bring up to low pressure over high heat. Once at low pressure, reduce the heat to low, maintaining low pressure, and cook for 2 hours. (Cook time: 2 hours)

05

Step
5 mins

While the pork is cooking, prepare the coleslaw. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon hot sauce, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

06

Step
8 mins

Add the coleslaw mix to the dressing and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. (Chill time: 30+ minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Once the pork has cooked for 2 hours, turn off the heat and allow the pressure to reduce naturally. Once the pressure is fully released, carefully remove the lid and let the pork rest for 5 minutes. (Rest time: 5 minutes)

08

Step

Using two forks, shred the meat. If it doesn't fall off the bone easily, reseal the lid, turn on the heat, return the pressure cooker to low pressure, and cook for an additional 30 minutes. (Check and potentially cook longer: 30 minutes)

09

Step

Remove the shredded meat from the pressure cooker, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Set the shredded pork aside. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

10

Step

In a saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and just starting to turn golden brown (about 3 minutes). (Cook time: 3 minutes)

11

Step

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in ketchup, honey, hot pepper sauce, molasses, cider vinegar, and the reserved cooking liquid. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

12

Step

Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. (Simmer time: 5 minutes)

13

Step

To assemble the sandwiches, split each Kaiser roll. Fill each roll with two generous forkfuls of pulled pork, two tablespoons of BBQ sauce, and two spoonfuls of coleslaw. (Assemble time: 5 minutes)

For a spicier kick, add more hot sauce to both the pork and the coleslaw.
If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can slow-cook the pork in a slow cooker for 6-8 hours on low or until the meat is easily shredded.
Toast the Kaiser rolls for a more robust sandwich experience.
Adjust the sweetness and tanginess of the BBQ sauce to your liking by adding more honey or cider vinegar.
