Nutritional Information

Directions:

Combine the dry rub ingredients in a swallow pan – such as a pie pan — and mix well.
Rinse and pat dry the pork butt. Roll the meat in the dry rub until well coated.
Place the pork butt in a slow cooker along with the onion quarters. Carefully pour the beef stock and beer (if using) along the edges of the crock – so as not to rinse off the spices from the roast. The pork butt should be partially immersed in the liquid. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.
Remove the pork butt and place on a cutting board. Cut off the string if on the roast. Using two forks, shred the meat and place in a bowl, discarding any of the fatty trimmings. Add ½ cup of the cooking liquid and the vinegar to the shredded meat to keep it moist. Serve immediately with or without your favorite barbeque sauce.

*If not using beer, then add another cup of beef stock to the dish.

Super easy and delicious. It does benefit from a good barbecue sauce when serving. I may experiment and add a little liquid smoke next time. Also, it seems a shame to throw out all the remaining broth. Might make a good stock for onion soup!
