Slow Cooker Pork Roast Dinner Recipe
Pulled pork is one of my favorite recipes to make as it’s insanely easy. And pulled pork can be used on so many things, like these Pork Shoulder Slow Cooker Enchiladas with Poblano Cream Sauce – So good!).
But this pulled pork recipe is different because I browned the pork roast before I set the cooker on low and I must admit that I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to go back to not browning a roast before slow cooking it… This pulled pork had a nice crispy brown on certain parts of it that had a bit of a tang to it, like a smoked flavor that you wouldn’t get from simply putting the roast into the slow cooker. The Ninja 3-in-1 Slow Cooker has literally changed my life for this reason because it allows me to brown something in the bowl and then turn it to low to slow cook. (Life-Saver and AWESOME gift idea for Christmas or a Birthday!)
And when you’re done, you’ll simply throw the meat on buns, serve with noodles, french fries, green beans, corn on the cob or whatever you fancy and you’re off to the races!
Here’s this pulled pork recipe for you to give a shot, too. You’ll be so glad you did.
2 T vegetable oil
salt & pepper
1 3-lb boneless pork roast
1 cup beef broth
2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup Coca Cola
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 T honey
Heat pan to high with vegetable oil.
Sprinkle salt and pepper on all sides of roast and cut in half. Brown roast on all sides for a minute or two. If using the Ninja 3 in 1 Slow Cooker, turn the knob to low on the slow cooker setting. Otherwise, transfer the roast to a slow cooker and set to low.
Combine remaining ingredients in a 4 cup measuring cup. Whisk together and pour over roast. Cook on low 8-10 hours for a pulled pork that will please even your pickiest eater. Promise!
When the slow cooker is finished and the pork is fork tender, remove it from the liquid and pull the meat apart while also removing any fat off the roast. Remove any pieces of fat from the liquid in the slow cooker, thicken with corn starch and water paste if you like, or leave as is and add meat back in to the slow cooker. Serve on buns. De-licious!
