Begin preheating a big Dutch oven set to high heat with some avocado oil added to the bottom. Once that is hot enough, sear your pork for two or three minutes on each side. Your pork should appear golden brown now.
Grab a medium-sized bowl and add in your beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, and garlic powder. Mix that good.
When your pork has been seared properly, take the mixture you just made and add it to the Dutch oven. Place the lid on top, cooking for the next three or four hours in your oven, which you preheated to 300 degrees.
The temperature of your pork should read 195 degrees when it’s finished, and that’s how you will know it’s done.
The weight of the pork will dictate how long it should cook, but it generally takes an hour for every pound.
Make sure to check in on your pork once it’s been cooking for an hour and a half. You want to ensure there’s still a fair amount of the liquid left. If there isn’t, throw in a 1/2 cup of water for good measure. If you don’t do this, you risk your seasonings burning.
After your pork has reached the proper temperature of 195 degrees, remove it from the oven and take the lid off.
Allow the pork to spend the next half an hour resting. While that’s happening, you can work on the coleslaw and sweet potatoes.
Chop up your sweet potatoes into cube shapes, spray them down with your avocado oil, and add the garlic powder, pepper, and salt to them.
Put them on a baking sheet in the oven at 400 degrees, and it will take them 25 or 30 minutes to cook.
You will know they’re done when you can easily pierce them with a fork, and they appear slightly crisped as well.
