Ingredients

• 4 pounds Pork shoulder (or pork butt)
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 6 ounces Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
• 0.25 cup Erythritol sweetener
• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2

Rub the spice mixture generously all over the pork shoulder to coat it evenly.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 4

Transfer the seared pork to a slow cooker.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, erythritol sweetener, water, and red pepper flakes. Stir until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the pork in the slow cooker, ensuring the pork is well-coated.

Step 7

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8 hours until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred the meat using two forks.

Step 9

Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and toss with the sauce.

Step 10

Serve the BBQ pulled pork hot, optionally garnished with fresh chopped herbs or alongside low-carb coleslaw or lettuce wraps.
