Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pork

  • Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels
  • Rub the pork with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder

2. Sear (optional but recommended)

  • Heat a large pan over medium-high heat
  • Sear the pork for 2–3 minutes per side until nicely browned. This adds extra flavour

3. Cook the Pork

Oven Method:

  • Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F)
  • Place pork in a large oven-safe pot or roasting dish
  • Mix the apple cider vinegar, chicken stock, and half (125ml) of the MRC Smoky BBQ Glaze. Pour around (not over) the pork
  • Cover tightly with a lid or foil
  • Bake for 4–5 hours, basting halfway with juices, until the pork easily pulls apart with forks

Slow Cooker Method:

  • Place seared pork in the slow cooker
  • Pour vinegar, stock, and half of the MRC Smoky BBQ Glaze around it
  • Cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or HIGH for 5–6 hours

4. Shred and Glaze

  • Remove pork and shred with two forks
  • Discard large fatty pieces
  • Toss shredded pork with the remaining MRC Smoky BBQ Glaze
  • If you like it saucier, add extra glaze to taste!

5. Serve

  • Serve on toasted buns with coleslaw, in tacos, or over rice
  • Add extra MRC glaze or your favourite toppings like pickles, jalapeños, or crispy onions
