Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
¼ cup mustard, or to taste
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons crushed garlic, or to taste
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
3 pounds pork picnic roast
¾ cup water (Optional)
1 onion, chopped
Directions
Mix beer, mustard, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, cayenne pepper, and salt in a bowl until honey is dissolved. Pour a small amount of the beer marinade into a slow cooker; add pork. Pour remaining marinade over pork. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning pork occasionally.
Cook pork on Low in the slow cooker for 8 hours, basting occasionally. Add water if the pork becomes dry. Drop onion around pork and continue to cook until pork is very tender, about 2 hours more.
Pull and shred pork with two forks, discarding any pieces of fat. Transfer pork to a serving dish. Skim remaining onion from the slow cooker using a sieve and add to pork.
Cook’s Note
If frozen, thaw the pork roast in your refrigerator.
For best results, the roast should begin marinating the evening before you are planning to serve this dish. Unless you are looking for a lower fat recipe, do not remove the fat from the roast at this point. The fat adds flavor and helps keep the meat moist and tender.
