Ingredients

• 4 pounds pork butt roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup chicken or beef broth
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 3 medium carrots, chopped
• 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 leaves bay leaves

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork butt roast dry with paper towels. Rub it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat evenly.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork, pressing it into the meat.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to the crock pot.

Step 4

Add the sliced onion, chopped carrots, chopped celery, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Transfer the vegetables to the crock pot around the pork.

Step 5

Pour the chicken or beef broth into the crock pot. Add the apple cider vinegar and tuck the bay leaves into the liquid.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the pork from the crock pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding.

Step 8

Strain the liquid and drizzle it over the pork for added flavor. Serve the pork alongside the cooked vegetables or as desired.
