Rate this Recipe

Serves 8-12


Ingredients:

3 pounds pork shoulder roast, trimmed of fat cap and cut into 2-inch chunks
2 teaspoons dried leaf oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons Adobo Seasoning, plus more, to taste
1 cup orange juice
1 Tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 bay leaves
1 large sweet yellow onion
1 12 oz. bottle or can beer or non alcoholic beer

Directions:

  1. Place Pork chunks in large zip top bag; set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together the oregano, cumin, Adobo seasoning, orange juice, lime juice, and garlic. Pour over pork in plastic bag and toss to coat evenly. Seal bag and marinate 2 hours to overnight in fridge.
  2. Transfer pork and marinade to slow cooker and add bay leaves, chopped onion, and beer. Cover and cook 4 to 6 hours on high or 8 to 10 hours on low. Pour Juices from slow cooker into saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, discard fat and bones from pork; shred meat. Stir shredded pork back into reduced juices. Add more Adobo seasoning, to taste. Preheat oven to broil. Spread out pork evenly on baking sheet.
  3. Broil pork until tops are browned and crispy, about 5 to 8 minutes. Use in Sandwiches or Mexican dishes.
