👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

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

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).

    ⏱️ 5 min (ish) 🌡️ 325°F
    AI Wisdom: Ensure the oven is fully preheated before adding the pork.
  2. 2

    Season the pork cubes with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat evenly.

    ⏱️ 5 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Coating the pork in spices enhances flavor.
  3. 3

    In a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork in batches until browned on all sides. Transfer to a plate.

    ⏱️ 15 min (ish) 🌡️ Medium-high heat
    AI Wisdom: Searing adds flavor through caramelization.
  4. 4

    In the same pot, sauté the onions and garlic until softened and fragrant.

    ⏱️ 5 min (ish) 🌡️ Medium heat
    AI Wisdom: Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  5. 5

    Return the seared pork to the pot. Add barbecue sauce and enough water to barely cover the meat. Bring to a simmer.

    ⏱️ 5 min (ish) 🌡️ Simmering
    AI Wisdom: The liquid will reduce and thicken as it cooks.
  6. 6

    Cover the pot and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 2 hours or until the pork is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.

    ⏱️ 120 min (ish) 🌡️ 325°F
    AI Wisdom: Check periodically and add more water if needed.
  7. 7

    Once done, shred the pork using two forks. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with additional barbecue sauce if desired.

    ⏱️ 10 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: The pork should be moist and flavorful.
