Instruktioner

Season and Sear:

Rub the pork with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet and sear the pork on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side).

Layer the Slow Cooker:

Add the onion, garlic, potatoes and carrots to the bottom of the slow cooker.

Add Braising Liquid and pork:

In a small bowl, whisk together the broth, vinegar, soy sauce Dijon mustard, herbs (if using) plus remaining 1 1/2 tsp salt. Pour over the vegetables, stir thoroughly to coat them, then place the pork roast on top.Add 1/4 cup of water to the searing pan and scrape up any browned bits. Pour this into the crockpot, too.

Cook:

Cover and cook on LOW for 9-10 hours or HIGH for 6-7 hours (see notes below). The potatoes and carrots will become tender but hold their shape if cooked low and slow.

To Thicken Gravy in the Slow Cooker:

Transfer the cooked pork and vegetables to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Spoon as much fat as you can from the remaining slow cooker liquid.

Make a Slurry:

In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp cornstarch with 3 tbsp cold water until smooth. Pour the slurry into the liquid in the slow cooker. Stir well to combine.

Cook Sauce on HIGH:

Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid thickens into gravy.

Rest and Serve:

Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the vegetables and drizzle the gravy (or just pan juices) over the top.
