Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 lb. pork shoulder/butt
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard or dijon
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ cup chicken broth or water

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix all ingredients except for the pork. Add pork to the bowl and turn to coat all sides in the marinade.
  • Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour and up to overnight. I recommend about 8 hours.
  • Remove pork from the fridge and heat a skillet to high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet and once the skillet is hot, add the pork, searing on all sides to develop a nice crust. This should be about 10 seconds per side.
  • Transfer the pork and drippings to a crockpot. Pour ¼ cup of water around the pork but not directly on top. Turn the crockpot on low and cook for about 7-8 hours.
  • When done, pork should be very tender and easy pull apart with a fork. You are ready to enjoy!

Notes

Toss pulled pork in your favorite barbecue sauce for a delicious bbq pulled pork sandwich or on it's own with your favorite side dishes. I linked a few of my favorite side dishes to serve with this pork recipe above.
For a Mexican meal: Serve on tacos, burritos, or enchiladas.
