2 pounds boneless pork roast 1 tablespoon minced garlic 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard 4 teaspoons molasses ⅓ cup bourbon 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar ½ teaspoon sriracha, plus more to taste 2 teaspoons sea salt, to taste ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper 2 tablespoons avocado oil

Instructions

1. Trim excess fat from roast, leaving a thin layer.

2. Mix all ingredients, except for pork and avocado oil, in a shallow dish. Add pork and marinate for 12-24 hours, turning several times.

3. Preheat slow cooker on high. Remove pork from marinade and set aside. Pat pork dry with paper towels.

5. Add marinade to the pan, cook for a minute and deglaze the pan (scrape any browned bits off the bottom).

6. Pour liquid over pork, reduce heat to low, and cook for 6-7 hours until the meat is very tender.

7. Transfer pork to a serving platter and allow to rest for about five minutes. Slice pork into thin slices across the grain, drizzle with braising liquid, and serve.
