For an even deeper flavor, sear the pork roast in a hot pan with a little oil before placing it in the slow cooker. This will create a beautiful crust and add richness to the dish. If you prefer a thicker gravy, remove some of the cooking liquid after the roast is cooked and whisk in a tablespoon or two of cornstarch. Return to the slow cooker and cook until thickened. Feel free to add other vegetables to the mix, such as parsnips, turnips, or sweet potatoes. Adjust the cooking time as needed. To easily shred the pork, use two forks to pull the meat apart.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Season the pork roast generously on all sides with salt and pepper. Place the seasoned roast in a slow cooker or Dutch oven. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Spread the minced garlic evenly over the pork roast. Add the carrots, potatoes, onion, and celery around the roast in the slow cooker. (5 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Pour the beef broth over the roast and vegetables. Ensure the liquid reaches about halfway up the side of the roast. (2 minutes)
04
Step
2 hrs
Cook on High for 4 hours, or on Low for 7-8 hours, or until the pork is incredibly tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. (4 hours)
05
Step
2 hrs
Once cooked, remove the roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing or shredding. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast. (15 minutes)
06
Step
10 mins
Serve the sliced or shredded pork with the cooked vegetables and pan juices. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme adds a lovely finishing touch.
