Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork shoulder roast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 16 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1.5 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork shoulder roast evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the roast to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant, then add the mixture to the crock pot.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms on top of the pork roast in the crock pot.
In a mixing bowl, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Pour this mixture over the pork roast and mushrooms.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is fork-tender.
Once cooked, transfer the pork roast to a cutting board and shred or slice as desired.
To make a gravy, whisk together cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir this slurry into the liquid in the crock pot and let it cook on high for 5-10 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Serve the pork roast with the mushrooms and gravy spooned over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
