Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Boneless pork shoulder roast
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
Instructions
Season the pork shoulder roast on all sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the 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.
Place the seared pork roast into the crockpot.
In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic and diced onion until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes. Add these to the crockpot.
Sprinkle the fresh rosemary and thyme over the pork roast in the crockpot.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and honey. Pour this mixture over the pork roast.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shreddable.
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the crockpot and transfer to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding.
To make a sauce: Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the juices in the crockpot. Stir and let it thicken for 5-10 minutes on high heat.
Serve the pork topped with the rich sauce and your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
