👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

🌡️ 325°F

AI Wisdom: Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the pork.
2

In a large bowl, combine barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: This will be the marinade for the pork.
3

Add the pork cubes to the marinade and coat them evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for more flavor.

⏱️ 30 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: For best results, marinate longer.
4

Transfer the marinated pork with the sauce to a baking dish.

AI Wisdom: Use a dish that snugly fits the pork in a single layer.
5

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 2 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender.

⏱️ 120 min (ish) 🌡️ 325°F

AI Wisdom: Check for doneness by ensuring the pork easily shreds with a fork.
6

Once the pork is tender, remove the foil, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C), and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes to caramelize the edges.

⏱️ 20 min (ish) 🌡️ 400°F

AI Wisdom: Watch carefully to prevent burning.
7

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. Shred the pork using two forks.

⏱️ 10 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Resting allows the juices to redistribute.
8

Serve the barbecue pork hot with additional sauce on the side.

AI Wisdom: Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
