– Boneless pork shoulder – Montreal steak seasoning – Olive oil – Beef broth – Ground chili powder – Ground cumin
Liberally sprinkle pork shoulder roast all over with Montreal steak seasoning. Preheat oven to 250ºF.
Add oil to a cast iron Dutch Oven pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil is almost smoking, sear the pork on all sides. Add 2 cups beef broth to the pot.
Add chili powder and cumin in a layer over the top of the roast. Cover pot with lid and roast in oven for 5 hours. After 2 1/2 hours, check the pot and add more liquid if necessary.
After 5 hours, the meat should be fork tender and easy to shred. If not, continue roasting for a while longer.
Serve with tortillas and top with avocado crema, pico de Gallo, salsa, or other condiment of your choice.
