Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Prepare the spice rub by combining the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and dried rosemary in a small bowl.
- Apply the rub generously onto the pork shoulder, making sure it's evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned pork shoulder on a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the pork shoulder from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful roast.
- While the pork rests, toast the buns until they're golden and crispy.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the mustard-mayo sauce by combining equal parts of mustard and mayonnaise.
- Spread the mustard-mayo sauce on the lower half of each toasted bun.
- Layer the roast pork slices, followed by the pickles, lettuce, and tomato slices.
- Cap it off with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade classic roast pork sandwich!
