Heat the olive oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork shoulder fat-side down and sear, undisturbed, for 4–5 minutes until deep golden brown. Turn and sear the remaining sides, 3–4 minutes per side, until browned all over. Transfer the pork to a plate and set aside.
