Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder (pork butt)
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup ketchup
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper to create a dry rub.
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it's well coated.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until it's browned, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the pork shoulder to a slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, ketchup, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Stir until well mixed.
Pour the sauce mixture over the pork in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and place on a large cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the sauce.
Serve on buns or as desired. Enjoy!
