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.
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!
