Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Mamas Barbecue Sauce
- 1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 1/4 cups Mamas Barbecue Sauce (page 285) or your favorite sauce
- 4 to 6 hamburger buns, or 8 to 12 slices white bread
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- To prepare the pork, trim off the fat and silver skin: insert the tip of a sharp boning knife just under the silver skin about 1/2 inch from the edge of the meat where the silver skin begins.
- 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.
- Repeat until no silver skin remains.
- Season the pork with salt and pepper.
- To sear the pork, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Sear the tenderloin until well browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and place lengthwise on the prepared baking sheet.
- Top with about 1 cup of the barbecue sauce and roll to fully coat.
- Fold the foil over the top of the meat and pinch the ends of the foil to seal well.
- Bake until very tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and transfer the pork to a large bowl.
- Discard the cooking juices remaining in the foil.
- Using 2 forks, shred the pork tenderloin into strips.
- Add barbecue sauce to taste, about 1 cup.
- Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve on the split buns with the remaining 1/4 cup of sauce on the side.
