Spicy Pulled Pork

01Method

1. 1

   Combine flour, chili powder, paprika, cumin, adobo seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Add the pork pieces and toss until evenly coated.

2. 2

   Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, sear the pork on all sides until well browned, about 10 minutes total. Transfer the seared pork to a slow cooker.

3. 3

   Using the same skillet over medium heat, soften the onion and garlic, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the tomatoes, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and hot pepper sauce; let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, then pour it over the pork in the slow cooker.

4. 4

   Set the slow cooker to Low and cook for 5 to 6 hours. Remove the pork to a cutting board and pull it apart using two forks. Return the shredded meat to the cooker, stir to combine with the sauce, and cook uncovered until the sauce thickens, 10 to 15 minutes.
