Cut the pork roast into 3-4 inch chunks and season with the pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Combine the beer (or stock), orange juice, remaining salt, garlic, cumin, chili, and cayenne together in the slow cooker, and then nestle the pork into the liquid.

Step 3

Set the crockpot to cook on low for 10-12 hours or on high 5-7 hours.

Step 4

Once cooked, shred the meat with two forks, and mix into the juices that were rendered while cooking.

For crispy pork, place shredded pork along with 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid onto a rimmed sheet pan and broil until lightly charred.
