Ingredients
- 3 to 4 lb boneless pork shoulder (pork butt) choose well-marbled for best results
- 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard Grey Poupon adds nice zip
- 2 tsp kosher salt reduce to 1½ tsp if using table salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves or 1 tsp dried
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar light or dark—adds a caramelized hint
Instructions
- Rub pork shoulder with olive oil and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine rosemary, thyme, garlic, and brown sugar. Press the herb blend onto the meat to form a crust.
- Pour chicken broth into the slow cooker. Place the seasoned pork shoulder on top.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 5 hours until pork is tender. Optionally, sear the roast for a deeper crust.
- Let the roast rest, then shred or slice. Spoon cooking liquid over the top before serving.
- Serve the pork roast with sides like mashed potatoes or roasted veggies. Enjoy this family-friendly meal!
Notes
Resting the roast is crucial for juice retention. For bone-in cuts, adjust cooking time. Leftover juices can be used to make a quick gravy.
