Pulled Pork

Ingredients

• 1 pork shoulder (about 4-5 pounds)
• 3 tablespoons Montreal Steak seasoning
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 5-6 strips of bacon

3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet (cast iron if you have one) and sear all sides of the roast.
4. Place seared pork shoulder in a roasting pan.
5. Pour apple cider vinegar over the top.
6. Layer bacon strips on top of roast and place in oven.
7. Bake pork shoulder for 5 hours, checking on it periodically and basting, if desired.

9. Pour beer over roast and bake an additional hour and a half.
10. Remove from oven and begin tearing the meat apart in the pan, letting it soak in the pan juices.
