Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Pork shoulder (boneless)
- 1 large Onion
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels and season on all sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Peel and slice the onion into thin rounds. Peel the garlic cloves and lightly smash them with the back of a knife.
Place the sliced onion and smashed garlic at the bottom of a crock pot to create a bed for the pork.
Transfer the seared pork shoulder to the crock pot, placing it on top of the onion and garlic.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Pour the mixture over the pork in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the pork shoulder from the crock pot and shred it with two forks. Stir the shredded pork back into the juices in the crock pot to coat evenly.
Serve the Crock Pot Pork hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or crusty bread.
