Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Pork shoulder (boneless or bone-in)
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Yellow onion, roughly chopped
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 3 Carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 1.5 lbs Baby potatoes
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels to ensure proper browning. Rub the pork with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the crock pot, layer the bottom with chopped onion, minced garlic, carrots, and baby potatoes. Sprinkle the remaining salt and pepper over the vegetables.
Place the seared pork shoulder on top of the vegetables. Pour chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce over the pork.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 8 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
After cooking, remove the pork shoulder and vegetables from the crock pot. Shred the pork using two forks.
Optionally, skim the fat from the cooking liquid in the crock pot and use it as a sauce to drizzle over the pork and vegetables.
Serve the shredded pork with the cooked vegetables, and enjoy a warm, hearty meal.
