Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds boneless pork shoulder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup sugar-free ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons erythritol (granulated)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Rub the pork shoulder with the olive oil to coat evenly.
Apply the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, massaging it into the meat.
Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker.
In another bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, sugar-free ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, and erythritol.
Pour half of the barbecue sauce mixture over the pork shoulder in the slow cooker, reserving the rest.
Cover the slow cooker and cook the pork on low for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls apart easily.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Drain any remaining cooking liquid from the slow cooker and return the shredded pork to the cooker.
Mix the remaining barbecue sauce with the shredded pork and turn the slow cooker to warm for about 10 minutes to heat through.
Serve the low-carb pulled pork on lettuce wraps or over cauliflower rice for a delicious low-carb meal.
