Sure, pork makes great sauerbraten. I'd use a boneless pork shoulder, since
it contains some fat, and won't get all dried out in the long braising
process. It might take less cooking time than beef, so watch and test it
often towards the end of the cooking. When a fork pierces the meat easily,
it's done.
