Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Mama's Barbecue Sauce
"This quick and easy pull pork tenderloin is a far cry from pit-cooked shoulder, but it is a very good imitation. It is a perfect recipe for a busy week when there is less time to cook. The key to the brief cooking time is to first sear the meat to a dark brown, not tan or beige, but a nice crusty brown."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven 350º.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty foil.
Step 3
To prepare the pork, trim off the fat and silver skin: insert the tip of a sharp boning knife just under the skin about 1/2-inch from the edge of the meat where the silver skin begins.
Step 4
Keep the knife closer to the membrane than the meat, and pulling up slightly with the knife, slide the knife along the length of the meat to remove a strip of the membrane, until no silver skin remains
Step 5
Season with salt & pepper.
Step 6
To sear, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until himmering. Sear the tenderloin until well-browned on all sides, 5-7 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from the heat and place lengthwise on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Top with about 1 cup of the barbecue sauce and roll to fully coat.
Step 9
Fold the foil over the top of the meat and pinch the ends of the foil to seal well.
Step 10
Bake until very tender, 30-45 minutes.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and transfer the pork to a large bowl.
Step 12
Discard the cooking juices remaining in the foil.
Step 13
Using 2 forks, shred the pork tenderloin into strips.
Step 14
Add barbecue sauce to taste, about 1 cup.
Step 15
Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper
Step 16
Serve on split buns with Classic Cole Slaw and sauce on the side.
