Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Start by trimming excess fat from the pork shoulder.

  2. 2

    Make the Spice Rub

    In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork shoulder.

  3. 3

    Sear the Pork

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork shoulder and sear it on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Slow Cooker

    Place sliced onion and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker.

  5. 5

    Add the Pork and Liquids

    Transfer the seared pork shoulder to the slow cooker on top of the onions and garlic. Pour in the apple cider vinegar, water, and brown sugar. Finally, add the BBQ sauce.

  6. 6

    Cook the Pork

    Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  7. 7

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks.

  8. 8

    Combine with Sauce

    Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the sauce.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Serve the BBQ pulled pork on buns, in tacos, or alongside your favorite sides.
