Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork roast
- 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels. Season it generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the sesame oil. Sear the pork roast on all sides until it is nicely browned. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork roast from the skillet and set it aside.
- In a bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, gochujang, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Place the seared pork roast into the slow cooker. Pour the marinade over the pork roast, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreddable.
- About 30 minutes before the pork is done, add the broccoli florets to the slow cooker. Stir to combine and ensure the broccoli is coated in the flavorful sauce.
- Once the pork and broccoli are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy the bold, Korean-inspired flavors!
