The following are the ingredients you'll need to make this recipe. Note the full printable recipe card is at the bottom of the page.

• Pork Shoulder
  This is the star of the dish. Pork shoulder is a well-marbled, fatty cut that becomes incredibly tender when slow-cooked. The fat renders down, keeping the meat juicy and rich in flavor. It also provides the fat content essential for keto and carnivore diets.
  
• Sea Salt
  Salt enhances the natural flavor of the pork and helps tenderize the meat during the long, slow cooking process. It's a crucial seasoning, especially in simple carnivore recipes where flavor comes from the quality of the meat and basic seasoning.
  
• Black Pepper
  Adds a subtle heat and depth to the dish. It's not essential for a strict carnivore approach but works well for those who include minimal seasonings.
  
• Garlic Powder (Optional)
  Brings a savory, umami boost to the pork. It's a small addition that adds flavor variety without compromising the low-carb or keto profile. Some carnivore followers include it if they tolerate small amounts of non-animal seasonings.
  
• Cayenne Pepper Flakes (Optional) Offers a touch of heat and complexity. A little goes a long way in brightening up the flavor. This is completely optional and best for those who prefer a spicier twist to their meat.

How To Make Carnivore Pork In Slow-Cooker

Start by seasoning the pork shoulder thoroughly with sea salt and black pepper.

If you're using optional ingredients like garlic powder or cayenne pepper flakes, sprinkle those on as well, making sure to coat all sides evenly.

For best results, let the seasoned pork rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps the meat cook more evenly and improves its final texture.

Once it's rested, place the pork into your slow cooker. There's no need to add any liquid to the pork shoulder because it naturally contains enough fat to keep the meat moist as it cooks.

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to low. Let the pork cook undisturbed for 6 to 8 hours, or until it becomes tender enough to shred easily with a fork.

When the pork is done, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and drain off the excess liquid.

Then transfer the pork to a baking sheet, spreading it out evenly. Place it under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp up the edges.

Keep a close eye during this step since the pork can go from golden and crispy to burnt very quickly.

Once the edges are nicely browned, remove it from the oven and serve hot.

Storage Tips

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or frozen for up to three weeks.

For convenience, consider portioning the pork before freezing to make future meals even easier.

Join Our Jesus And Keto Movement 

Randy and I came to the keto diet looking at it from a Christian perspective; it's the filter we choose to see from.

When we decided to combine our Christian faith and the keto diet, we did so in hopes of finding lasting transformation.

To say we needed God's intervention is to put it mildly. When we followed the Holy Spirit's lead to embrace the ketogenic diet and combine it with our faith, we got on the path to real transformation.

If you are looking for a Christian group that is using the keto diet to transform their lives, we invite you to join our Private Facebook Group and see if it's not the key you have been missing.
