Ingredients:
Directions:
1
Day 1: Put the pork cubes in a casserole dish or baking sheet and rub them evenly with the salt and pepper
2
Cover in plastic and refrigerate for at least 12 hours
3
Day 2: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F
4
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat
5
Sear the pork until golden brown on all sides; transfer to a good-quality, high-walled braising pan and pour in the root beer
6
Cover the braising pan with parchment paper and then aluminum foil
7
Place the pan in the oven and set a timer for 1 hour
8
When the timer goes off, lower the heat to 275 degrees F
9
Cook for another 2 hours
10
When the timer goes off again, check the pork to make sure it pulls apart easily
11
Stick a fork in it and twist--if it pulls apart easily, you're good to go! Let rest for about 30 minutes
12
Once cooled, take the pork out of the braising liquid and pull it for sandwiches
