Pulled Pork - Everyday Paleo

Beyond Easy Pulled Pork

4-5 lb pork butt roast

2 yellow onions, sliced

Dry Rub

3 tbsps chili powder

1 tsp coriander

2 tsps cumin

2 tsps onion powder

1 tablespoon dried parsley

¼ teaspoon chipotle powder

2 tsps sea salt

Mix all dry rub ingredients together.  Rub the entire roast with the dry rub (you should use it all.)  Place a layer of onions on the bottom of your slow cooker.  Place the roast on top.  Put the rest of the sliced onions on top of the slow cooker.  NO LIQUID NECESSARY!  Cook the roast on high for 5-6 hours and then turn down to low for another 3-4 hours or until the roast is literally falling apart and easy to shred.

Enjoy!

      Can I use pork right out of the freezer?

      Found your recipes by searching “freezer to crockpot” cooking, but there’s no mention if it works with the pork right out of the freezer?

      Hoping to try this for tonight. Thanks!

      Pork loin works just fine too. I tried this recipe with that and it’s just as fantastic. Make sure one side of the loin has a nice layer of fat on one side. Place the fat-side up so as it slow cooks the fat can “melt” down over the meat as it cooks.

    This recipe for Pulled Pork is wonderful, but I used a pressure cooker and it only took 55 minutes for a 3 pound roast, and a very little liquid. Delicious…..

        I do “pulled” meat of all kinds in my toaster oven–I put some water in the bottom of the little broiler pan, then add my doctored-up meat, then cover it all with foil, and cook for 3 hours. No hovering, no crock-pot, and no oven burning away.

        Yes, you can “pull” just about any kind of meat–two days ago, we ate pulled brisket, and tonight it’s pulled chicken breasts (in the toaster oven again).

    I do a pork roast in the crock pot about every 2-3 weeks, my kids love it and it always lasts for at least 3 meals (couple of dinners and a lunch usually). We also do approximately the same recipe you listed above, but with chicken breasts (that might be from your cookbook) and my 2yo twins love it.

      It won’t matter if the roast is smaller but it will for sure make a difference with cooking time if you start with a frozen roast, just make sure you cook it long enough that it falls apart easily.

    Hi! I just made my pork last night in the slow cooker. Have you ever tried it with a chile verde sauce on it? I just make a chile verde salsa – but i water it down a bit with a little chicken stock, then I pour it over the pork butt and slow cook it same way. Delicious! Super impressed my friends who thought it wasn’t going to be as good as it was. 🙂 THanks for this rub recipe…I’m going to share it and impress more people and hopefully get them to buy your recipe book! I love it…

      Yes I sure have! I have my own chili verde recipe found here on the blog and I also have just dumped the salsa verde from Trader Joes onto pork loin and let it cook in the crock pot and it’s delicious.

        This may be a dumb question, do u still do the pulled pork rub when using the salsa verde? Coincidentally, i have a jar of TJ salsa verde in my cupboard from our 1st paleo shopping trip ( we’re in week 3). It seemed like it would work on something, chicken or pork, but I didn’t know what to do with it for sure.

        I can’t wait to make the pulled pork tomorrow!

    Hey Sarah! Love this, thanks. We make pork butt a lot in this household and I wanted to tell you that we use something i know you love on ours! After we shred it, sometimes we throw in a jar of Trader Joe’s Salsa Verde! It’s SO GOOD! It is perfect for on lettuce tacos, or just served with avocado and a side of shredded cabbage like you sometimes do with dinners. 🙂 It reminds me of the pulled pork at Qdoba. I am guessing you’ve probably already tried it with the Salsa Verde, but I had to share in case you haven’t! Take care!

    You can make a great (lettuce) taco filling using leftover pulled pork like this. Heat a cast iron pan on medium heat with a little oil wiped over the surface, and add 2-3 cups of pulled porked, and then press the pork down into the pan with a spatula. Cook about 5 minutes, and then scrap the pan, turn the pork over (in one layer, if you can) and cook another 5 minutes. It will brown and crisp up, and take on some additional flavor. Great with salsa verde.

    Pork + slow cooker is a very popular equation in my kitchen. Looks delicious, and leftovers-friendly!
    Any plans for recipes using organ meats? One of my goals this year is to incorporate more organ meats (liver, heart…ok, that’s about as brave as I’m gonna get for now).
    I gave your book as a Christmas present to my 5th graders teacher and she loves it (no shocker there, I knew she would!).

    • Wenchypoo says

      January 11, 2012 at 5:25 am

      Suggestion to get started: why not grind them up and add them to your meat loaf mix? By grinding, you can add them to anything you make with ground meats, such as meat loaf, tacos/burritos, spring rolls (made with tapioca flour wrappers), stuffed peppers, etc.

      If you first grind the organs, then add your regular ground meat to it, grinding together, it’s all mixed up, and the flavor is less noticeable. Spices do help here.

      Time-saving tip: when you get home from the store with your refrigerated meat, plan on running the organs and muscle meat together in a food processor or grinder to mix them, then subdivide the whole thing into appropriate portion sizes in zippy bags, then freeze. CW info says 4 oz. raw (makes 3 oz. cooked) is one person’s portion, so get out your 1/2 cup measuring cup (per-person measure–if that’s enough protein for your family), and use it to fill your zippy bags with the ground-up meat mix. If you regularly use the same spices for pretty much all your ground meat dishes, you can add them to the meat while grinding, and this will pre-season as well as pre-portion your mixed meat for the freezer–then all you do is defrost. This may not sound like a time-saver NOW, but when you come home tired and sore one day, your thawed pre-mixed, pre-seasoned meat pack will pay off (when you need it). It will also make your meat go further because it’s pre-portioned by you, not the farmer, not the butcher, or grocery store minions.

    Sarah,

    I am on day 8 of the Whole 30 and I could not have gotten this far without your cookbook. I have two children, my boy is 10 and my girl is 12. I have been “playing” with the paleo diet for 2 years, I finally decided to dial in my diet and today was the first day I feel absolutely fantastic and my workout was great too!

    Last night I made the roast pork in the slow cooker…..OMG…so good! I am sitting here eating my Red Curry Beef stew….another homerun, as a matter of fact my husband just yelled to me “it’s good Honey”!

    Again thank you so much, with all this great food, I hope to stay this way beyond the 30 days.

I tried this pulled pork tonight and it is FANTABULOUS! And, so easy even my husband could do it (which he did actually because I cut my finger and couldn’t rub in the spices or cut up the onion). Anyhow, 3 helpings later, it’s a total hit with him and I’m sure we’ll be making this every few weeks 🙂 This just seriously rocks. Thank you for posting it!

I had a little pork tenderloin in the fridge and wanted to put it in the crock pot b/c I have 3 kids under 5 and my husband is out of town and by the time dinner comes along I am exhausted! I added a little apple cider vinegar after I shredded it b/c it was a little dry. I think I cooked it on high a little to long. The vinegar made it taste even better, if that is possible. I made a purple cabbage slaw, kinda, I had a bag of broccoli slaw in the fridge so I just added the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and pepper and it turned out fantastic. My kids liked it too. The 14 month old espeacially!!! Thank you for the great ideas. Glad I found your blog.

    I made this tonight and it was incredible. I didn’t have parsley or chipotle powder, so I tossed in 1 TBLS of poultry seasoning and I served this with home made paleo mayo, guacamole, and salsa. Amazing!
    Also, there was a lot of liquid left that I would normally throw out, but tonight I’ve decided to make a soup! I added water until my crock pot was almost full, and I’ve thrown in yellow and green onions, some leftover kale, a handful of cilantro, half a pack of sliced mushrooms and some sea salt. Oh yeah, a crap ton of garlic, because I love it. I’m thinking of adding some bacon, and if I had had them, I would have added pork hawks. It’s all good though, there were a enough bones in the roast that it should still flavour the stalk nicely.
    The pulled pork was definitely something I’ll be making a lot more of, I thought you could only make that with BBQ sauce. I’m glad there’s a recipe that doesn’t require a shit-ton of sugar!
    Thank you so much!!!

    I made this last night … thawed my 4lb roast in the microwave for 30 min. before slow-cooking it to shreds. I was surprised how juicy this turned out, given that the recipe didn’t call for any liquid! So good–def making it again!

    Do you think it would work to do this for 12-13 hours on low? I work literally all day, and want something so easy, and tasty after work.
    Thanks.

    BTW, Sarah, I’ve made the slow cooked spice rubbed chicken twice… In two weeks!!

      I ended up just trying it, and it totally worked, my husband and I both loved this!! 11-2 hours on low, easily shreds meat. Though I think our pork was only half the weight but I used all the spice rub, but we loved it.. so if I do more I will use more spices still…. maybe my spices aren’t as potent…. We had this with a slaw as well.. can’t wait to make it again next time pork shoulder is on sale..
      Thanks for the great recipe

    This recipe is awesome!! I made it exactly as written the first time (shortly after it was posted) and it turned out perfectly! I’m not a big roast maker (although I should be, but cooking large cuts of meat has always seemed a little intimidating) and didn’t realize you could make a roast that literally falls apart without using liquid. So yummy! I wanted to make it again this weekend, but I couldn’t find a pork butt/shoulder roast at Costco. All I could find there was a 4-pack of pork sirloin tip roasts, which are 98% fat free and super lean. I wasn’t sure this would work, but didn’t want to stop at another store so I thought I’d try it. I dumped about 4 tablespoons of coconut oil into the crockpot hoping that would make up for the lack of fat (I had 2 of the 2.5 pound roasts in the crock pot). I also thought it could use just a tad bit of something sweet so I added 4 oz. of 100% apple juice to the bottom of the crock pot — don’t slap me for this Sarah! =-) It was heaven!!!
    Thank you for all of the amazing recipes! Any chance a second cookbook is in the works???

      P.S. This recipe also ended up being super cheap with the pork sirloin tip roasts. $2.29/lb at costco. Since I have everything else on hand, it’s about $12.50 per 5lb batch of scrumptious pulled pork!! Can’t really beat that!

    So, will I burn down my house if I leave it on low overnight? I had a 2.5 lb pork shoulder roast I needed to cook, so I started this at 7:30 pm. I had it on high from 7:30-9:30 and just switched to low. I’m up at 6 am for crossfit. That’s 10.5 hours for a 2.5 lb roast….probably way too long huh? I probably shouldn’t have started this at 7:30 pm…

    I was just wondering, I cooked this overnight and this morning I woke up to a lovely smell but when I get home to pull it apart I was wondering if I leave all the liquid in there? or do I try to extract the roast from the pool? It seems like it would be really fatty liquid, but I’m not sure if that is the point 🙂

      go ahead and pull the roast out from the liquid and shred it apart and you can use some of the liquid to pour over the roast if you like and with the rest, I suggest saving it to make soup!

    Question 🙂

    I tried this recipe a week ago and my biggest problem was that all the onions burned. I am not sure if I just didn’t put enough onions on the bottom or something? I didn’t even leave it on high for more than 5 hours since I noticed the onions burnt. What do you think went wrong? It tasted great but I don’t think my boyfriend appreciated the burnt pork / onions… he still ate it though… 🙂 Any ideas would be wonderful!

    • Sarah says

      February 6, 2013 at 3:25 pm

      I’m so surprised that happened! Did you use a pork butt roast or a pork shoulder roast or a pork loin? If you used the loin, you wouldn’t have had enough fat to create all those yummy juices at the bottom of your slow cooker to caramelize the onions rather than burn them, and the roast. Also, it could be that your slow cooker cooks super HOT even on low? Next time make sure you use a fattier roast and/or try putting like 1/2 a cup of liquid in the bottom if it’s that your slow cooker just cooks extra hot. So sorry about that!!!

I had the oven at 275 and cooked a 3.5 lb roast for 5 hrs. I really was amazed at how moist this was and it literally fell apart with tongs. I loved the flavor but look forward to making up different mixtures of dry rub to try as well.

    Wow, sadly I seem to be the exception… I used a 6 pound pork shoulder. My husband was home to turn it on & he called me after 6 hours on high to say it seemed very dry so I had him put 1/2 cup of water in at that time. After 6 hours on high & 2.5 hours on low, it still seemed very tough unlike when I made pulled pork with other recipes. I worried that it wasn’t cooking through so at that point I cut the meat off the bone & returned it to the crock pot. After another hour, most of the meat was still tough so we had something else for dinner. I’m about to go check it again, this is now 6 hours on high & 6 hours on low. My crock pot is a decent model & my meat thermometer said the meat was 194 degrees when it was on high… Maybe I just got a bad cut of meat? It smells great… 🙁

      I wish I knew what happened! Did you use the onions? They do for sure add some moisture; however I can’t imagine what went wrong! I usually use pork butt roast (the two cuts come from the same part, the butt is just the cut higher up from the shoulder) instead of shoulder which is typically fattier and without the bone (or nearly boneless) so that might have made a difference too? I’m so sorry that it didn’t turn out for you! 🙁

  82. Crystina says

    October 23, 2013 at 9:31 pm

    Yes, I used one sweet onion & one yellow onion. I put it back on high after I cut the meat off the bone, then did another hour on low. I think the total time was 7 hours on high & 7 hours on low. It switched automatically to warm after the last hour on low & I didn’t have a chance to get back to it until it had been 2 hours on warm. By that point, finally, it was perfect! The meat shredded beautifully although there was a bunch of fat I had to remove. It had a decent amount of broth that was so tasty I’d have it as a soup! I put all the shredded meat & broth in a Tupperware & we had it for dinner tonight. No idea what happened, but it was amazing!

    Next time maybe I’ll bring the roast to room temperature first (in case the bone being cold from the refrigerator slowed down the cooking somehow) and I’ll try flipping the roast over once or twice as well. I’ll have my husband start it earlier too. In spite of these issues, this is the tastiest pulled pork I ever made!

    I have a question. I did this recipe with a 4.2 pound pork sirloin roast from US Wellness Meats. The roast was in several pieces after I cut it out of the net-like sack it arrived in. I cooked it for the same duration as you instructed and it came out overdone and dry. Do you think I should leave it in the sack next time or try cooking it for a shorter duration? Or maybe add some broth due to the lean cut of roast?

    Reply
    • Sarah says

      December 11, 2013 at 7:18 am

      I think the dryness has more to do with the leaness than anything else so yes, if you use the same cut next time, I would add some sort of fat to the crockpot (leaf lard, bacon grease, etc.) and cut down on the cooking time as well. 🙂

          Do you have to use liquid smoke? If so, is it part of the rub or do you put in the bottom of the crockpot,? Also does the tsps stand for teaspoon?

    I’ve been making your recipe for a while now. The family loves it. My wife usually requests it before I go on business trips.

    I leave my house at 7am and i dont return until 5pm at the earliest. Could i just put the roast on low for that length of time? (Newbie chef) 🙂

    OMG —- I made this today and it will become a staple. We used a boneless pork loin (with fat side up). Even though the roast was only about 2.5 lbs we used all of the rub, but only one onion. I was worried it would be to much spice, but it was just right. I served it with roasted brussel sprouts and roasted cauliflower. We were licking out plates. I will certainly make this again. Thank you.

    I made this yesterday with a different cut of pork that I now think was too lean. The flavour is still there (I’ve made this before, as RXed – turned out perfectly) but it’s very dry. Is there any way I can rescue this? For example, with a Paleo sauce that I can use to add some moisture?

    My wife is not a big fan of smoky flavors. How does this rank on the smoky scale? If I left out the chipotle powder, would that help?

      I wouldn’t call it a smoky flavor, more of a balanced yummy little bit spicy delicious flavor. 🙂

    My first visit to your blog and my first pork butt! This was easy and tasted great! I had a 6 lb roast that I cooked 6 hrs on high and 4 hrs on low. I subbed a little ground red pepper for the chipotle and sweet onions for yellow but otherwise stayed true to your recipe. Thanks! I see this being a new staple in my home!

    Delicious! I’m starting Day 3 on the Whole 30 and I dragged myself to the grocery store around 10 pm last night after I got off of work to get the ingredients to make this. I did make a few substitutions – I had a bag of chopped tri-colored bell pepper and onions in my freezer that I used instead of the yellow onions and this also helped to give it more of a spicy flavor since I didn’t have the chipotle seasoning. I also added some cayenne pepper to it. Over all, super tasty and mixing in the peppers/onions after makes it very moist!

    Loved this recipe! I can’t program my slow cooker to change speeds, so I cooked it completely on Low and it worked perfectly (about 14 hours).

    Made this tonight with pork tenderloin but cooked on low for 8hrs (day was too busy to remember to change the setting :)) it was delicious! Served it over these (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Cheesy-Sweet-Potato-Crisps-241136) with the cream sauce… Such a good alternative to bread and can pack in some extra nutrients with the sweet potato. Freezing the leftovers for pork carnitas :). Thanks for the great recipe!!

    This.is.it! The recipe I have been looking for! Only question I have is about the adobe seasoning. Problem is, I don’t have any! BUT…I do have some adobes that were in the can (I froze the leftovers) How much of them do you think I will need to use? Otherwise…I’m doing this for the night before Thanksgiving meal. As the family starts pouring in, I will have a big pot of pulled pork waiting for them! Thank you so much!

      I’m guessing you mean you don’t have the chipotle powder? I would just omit it if you don’t have it, it will be great either way!! Enjoy and happy Thanksgiving!!

    This was so delicious! I made it for dinner tonight with roast potato and mexican style salad. Both my boyfriend and my buddy said it was the best pork they’d ever eaten and i heartily agreed! I will be making this with alarming regularity. Thanks for a wobderful recipe and blog. I am 6 days into my whole30 and my kitchen repertoire has just grown exponentially. Very excited. 🙂

    I was concerned about dryness because I used a pork tenderloin, but it wasn’t dry at all; in fact, it was swimming in liquid, maybe due to the fat, or the onions, or something. DELICIOUS: thanks for the recipe, Sarah!

    Hi.. I am new to this whole30 and paleo eating. Struggling to get my protein in as I have always had cheese and yogurt and milk based protein drinks… I made this last night with about 1/4 cup of beef broth and it was DELICIOUS…. I wish I had learned to make the paleo tortillas before hand…. Day 10 of my WHOLE30 🙂

    I’ve made this many times in my slow cooker, but it recently experienced an untimely death. I now have an Instant Pot and wonder if anyone has done this recipe in a pressure cooker; if so, I would appreciate any advice you can share.

    “Put the rest of the sliced onions on top of the slow cooker.”

    Are you real sure about that? 🙂
