Pulled Pork Made in the Oven
Last year for my husband’s 40th birthday bash, I served a tripled batch of my friend Merry’s crockpot pulled pork recipe, and it was a big hit! Since then I’ve made this recipe at least 5 times, and over this time I’ve tweaked it for our particular tastebuds with different spices, and now I want to share my oven roasted version with you. I prefer to bake my pulled pork, so I use my cast iron casserole dish
because it holds the heat so well, and the pork comes out so tender.
Makes a big batch.
I love this easy recipe because it makes a big batch of pulled pork which is great for parties and large gatherings. But’s it’s also great because I can freeze half for another day.
Serving Suggestions:
Make pulled pork sandwiches with fresh white buns, coleslaw (recipe below) and pickles. Serve with corn on the cob, mac + cheese, brown beans or potato salad.
Oven Roasted Pulled Pork Recipe Tips:
- PORK: This recipe uses pork tenderloins, but you can also use pork shoulder, pork butt, or any pork roast.
- BROTH: This recipe calls for beef broth, but you can also use chicken stock or vegetable broth.
- BBQ Sauce: Use your favourite pre-made sauce. I use at least 1 cup.
Slow Cooker Option:
You can also make this pulled pork in the slow cooker. Follow the instructions as listed below, but instead put all of the ingredients into a crockpot and set it to LOW for 8 hours. Read this post for more details on how to make slow cooker pulled pork.

Ingredients
Pulled Pork:
- 2 pork tenderloins
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dry mustard
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 medium onions (sliced thin)
- 4 cloves garlic (sliced thin)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 – 2 cups of your favourite barbecue sauce
Coleslaw:
- 1 medium head of cabbage (shredded)
- 2 – 3 carrots (shredded or sliced thin)
- 2 green onions (sliced thin)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 tsp seasoning salt (like Lawry’s)
Instructions
Pulled Pork:
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon and pepper.
- Rub this spice mixture onto both sides of the pork tenderloins.
- Add the sliced onions, garlic and beef broth to the bottom of an oven proof dish (I like to use a cast iron casserole dish).
- Lay the pork tenderloins on top of the onion mixture.
- Cover the dish with the lid and place on the middle rack in the oven.
- Bake for 5 hours, turning the tenderloins over 1 or 2 times, just to make sure they don’t dry out.
- When the pork is done, drain the juices.
- Then shred the pork using two forks to pull the pork apart.
- Stir in your favourite barbecue sauce, to taste.
Coleslaw:
- Mix together all the salad dressing ingredients (I use a hand blender to make sure the dressing is creamy). This makes a lot of dressing, so add it slowly to the shredded cabbage mixture. You decide how much dressing you need.
- Toss salad.
Putting it all together:
- Serve the pulled pork in buns topped with coleslaw. Enjoy!
